Abstract
Organizing international conferences leads to emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Even though, some conferences are devoted to "greener" systems (e.g. IEEE VPPC), the transport of attendees and the local organization of the conference are not "carbon free". Consequently, some experiences are reported in this paper in order to reduce the ecological footprint of the conference itself and also to mitigate the emitted GHG for international congresses.
