Discover unparalleled opportunities to showcase your solutions, connect with industry leaders, and drive business growth at WEFTEC 2025. This event, scheduled from September 27 to October 1, 2025, will take place at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The exhibition will run from September 29 to October 1, offering exhibitors a prime platform to engage with a diverse audience.

WEFTEC 2025 has achieved Platinum Level Sustainability Certification from the Events Industry Council (EIC), marking a significant milestone in sustainable event management. This certification is a testament to the federation's commitment to environmental responsibility. For instance, WEFTEC offset 9,524 MTCO2e of carbon emissions through contributions from participants and a matching contribution from WEF. Additionally, WEF purchased Water Restoration Credits (WRC) from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation to cover the entire water consumption (536,000 gallons) from venue operations at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Reducing energy usage is another critical component of carbon-emissions reduction. The New Orleans venue implemented significant upgrades to enhance efficiency and reduce energy consumption by 61% over 2023. WEF’s sustainable procurement initiatives focused on responsible sourcing and necessity. For example, catering options were promoted for sustainability, including replacing plastic water bottles with aluminum ones and plastic takeout containers with compostable options.

A core pillar of WEFTEC is its commitment to social sustainability. In 2024, WEF expanded its efforts to foster community engagement while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits. Conference participants assembled laundry kits for the Ronald McDonald House and STEM kits for Community Works of Louisiana. These efforts resulted in the donation of 2,000 STEM kits and 3,000 laundry kits, demonstrating WEF’s commitment to community well-being and education.

Furthermore, WEFTEC offers exhibitors a range of exhibiting and sponsorship options for WEFTEC 2025. To learn more about these opportunities or download the Prospectus, visit the official website.
