The organisers of PRSE are committed to bringing you a show that is as sustainable as possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have in place to ensure this:

Sustainability and Recycling at PRSE
PRSE 2022 Show Guide
The PRSE 2022 Show Guide is now digital, accessible on your device whilst at the show. This cuts down on unnecessary printing and the associated environmental damage as well as reducing waste.
Badges and Badge Holders
Pop your badge in the marked collection bins on your way out of the show and your badge will be recycled, and your badge holder reused at another show.
Exhibitor donation programme
This year, PRSE will have a donation programme for exhibitors. Our good cause donation programme is an initiative in which you can play a key role. Exhibitors are invited to hand in unwanted items, which meet the criteria, to the donation room. These will then be distributed among various social initiatives in the Amsterdam region.
