Company Profile

FLEXIBILITY & STABILITY

Can the speed and flexibility of a speedboat be combined to the stability and safety of an ocean liner? At sea, no. When it comes to organizing conferences, yes. This is exactly what we do at CONVIN. We are seasoned executives who have been working in major conference-organizing companies for many years. So, we decided to join forces, combining the knowledge, experience and security that a major company can provide with the flexibility, speed, low cost, creativity, versatility and personal assistance, which are the hallmarks of a small business. We have taken away the bureaucracy and added directness, innovation and state – of – the – art IT applications in order to generate significant added value in every aspect what we undertake.

FLEX STABILITY

  • helpers to our society by offering our resources and services to help all vulnerable groups

The establishment of these roles, is supported by the following (indicative) actions:

Moreover and specifically related to environmental sustainability we have adopted at least 8 “green” practices to our premises as follows:

  • Recycling (Waste Paper and Cardboard, Plastic/ Metal / Glass Recycling, WEEE Recycling)
  • Use reusable alternatives (i.e. Replacing single-use products with eco-friendly and reusable products such as using glass or paper cups instead of plastic ones)
  • Save energy ( i.e. using by default natural light & responsible use of office lighting and air-conditioning)
  • Go paperless (i.e. Electronic filing to Minimize printing, asking for supplier’s receipts/ invoices through e-mail)
  • Donate unused items (i.e conference leftover fabric bags, given to a charity that would make use of it to help reduce waste).
  • Buy fair trade products for office use (suggested also to clients during conference/ events organization)
  • Don’t waste food (i.e. we do not throw away leftovers from F/B services during our conferences/ events. We support non-profit organizations that prevent food waste, by distributing the surplus of food, to people in need in local area)
  • Use eco-friendly cleaning products (we use green/eco-friendly cleaning products, in the office aiming to prevent chemicals from having a negative impact on the Earth).
