Webinar: EV Ready Government Meetings - Practical Questions Planners and Suppliers Should Be Asking

Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a "future issue" for government meetings—they are already changing how attendees, staff, and even agency fleets arrive at events. Yet, most government planners and suppliers lack clear, non-technical guidance on what "EV-ready" actually means when writing RFPs, selecting venues, or communicating with attendees.

This webinar translates EV adoption into practical steps for government meeting professionals. Participants will explore common EV charging scenarios at hotels, conference centers, and training sites. You will learn straightforward questions to ask venues and CVBs, and see examples of how charging can be framed as a matter of duty of care, sustainability, and attendee experience rather than just a technical detail.

Learning Outcomes

After this session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe how rising EV adoption, government sustainability goals, and fleet initiatives are beginning to influence venue selection, parking plans, and attendee experience for government meetings.
2. Apply a simple set of RFP and site-visit questions to evaluate a venue’s actual EV-readiness, including charging capacity, access protocols, pricing, safety, and communication.
3. Develop talking points to use with venues and internal decision-makers that navigate mixed signals, framing EV charging as a "duty of care" and logistical safety requirement, ensuring operational readiness regardless of the current political climate surrounding EVs.
