Popis:	The large number of medical conferences held per year has a significant impact on the environment. Climate change and global warming then lead to deleterious effects on human health. We aim to highlight that it is our responsibility as doctors to promote eco-friendly events and encourage sustainable practices, thus reducing harm to our environment. Management committees of conferences can take a few steps toward this with specific planning and effort. In this study, possible steps toward achieving this goal have been highlighted, such as conducting hybrid events, locally sourcing products, and avoiding single-use plastic.
