Sustainability in AV (SAVe) has announced that Chris Schyvinck, the Shure president and CEO, will be a keynote speaker at the 2025 SAVe Global Conference due to be held in Los Angeles September 24-25.
Sustainability in AV (SAVe) was founded in 2022 with the mission of bringing the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals to the AV industry. SAVe is the first US-based industry-wide organisation of its kind, with a global mission and membership.
The international conference will feature a number of different speakers from around the world, providing diverse insights about how various organisations can approach sustainability.
Christina De Bono, founder and president of SAVe, said: “We’re excited to have Chris and all of our other speakers as part of our first annual global conference. Now is the time for our growing international membership to gather and harness our momentum in bringing the Sustainable Development Goals to pro AV.”
Held at UCLA’s Luskin Conference Center, the conference will offer networking, workshops, and presentations from industry leaders to inspire the industry do its part to meet growing sustainability responsibilities.
Schyvinck said: “Sustainability in AV is everyone’s responsibility, and we’re proud to be involved with this global conference where others from around the world can share best practices and ideas for a better tomorrow.”
Schyvinck will provide a deeper look at Shure’s initiatives, including how the company achieved its goal of using 90 percent recyclable and/or renewable packaging for new products by the end of 2025 – one year ahead of its timeline.
Shure says it has more than 1,500 different packaging pieces for a variety of different products, which makes converting to sustainable packaging a significant undertaking. It is especially difficult for high-performance electronic equipment which is shipped to various locations globally to reach customers all over the world.
