Assistants can also recommend all of the apps to their manager. Here are some of my favourites: Great Apps: Travel. This app is slightly expensive but worth paying for if your manager travels a lot. You can set it for your current location or receive alerts from places you are planning to travel too.

Long gone are the days our executive managers fly all over the world attending an hour’s meeting here or there. Don’t get me wrong they still travel for Board meetings and client engagement but they don’t get on a flight simply because there are no alternatives to getting everyone together.

During my time in Geneva it certainly hadn’t escaped my notice that Geneva is an expensive city: you can’t really escape it (unless you spend all of your time hanging around the central train station). After a few hours of sightseeing I got the phone call and headed back to the hotel to check out my room.

When I travel, I take my laptop and Kindle Fire. I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. I have a data package on my phone and tablet so I can work from anywhere regardless of Wifi.

Fun travel apps are Skype (for calling home), SimplyNoise (great for sleeping in noisy places), Sit or Squat (find a bathroom), and CheapGas. My Kindle app is a lifesaver while traveling. I like having a long battery life and having the full functionality of the Windows Platform on my phone.

Sustainability certainly hasn’t been a priority for assistants organising events, particularly as we often have to manage events alongside our actual day job and the budgets we have to spend on events are still quite a bit smaller than they were a few years ago. Sustainable events don’t need to be expensive events.
