13. Use Paperless Event Management

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

Producing paper takes a lot of water resources, and often means cutting down trees, leading to deforestation. With the wide use of smartphones, people can have a world of information at their fingertips, including information on your event. Also, most people prefer not to carry around a packet of papers. Take this opportunity to reduce the amount of paper your event uses.

HOW TO DO IT

  • Write updates on a whiteboard with dry-erase markers.
  • Email important information to participants.
  • Use online regatta management systems such as, Phlotilla, Regatta Guru, Yacht Scoring, or Regatta Network to handle regatta registration, event management and media communications.
  • Register your event and download the Clean Regattas Toolkit for more information!
