The green office space is a write off for Convio, yet it helps the company sell nonprofits on new products. It’s a pretty smart strategy, actually. Of course, all its clients don’t benefit, only the ones that operate out of Washington, D.C. or who visit D.C. Nonetheless, Convio is on board the green office bandwagon and it looks like they went all out.

I think the article was pretty clear that Convio is opening up its green office space for free use by its nonprofit clients. That’s a magnanimous gesture, if you ask me. And the fact that Convio went the eco-friendly route is outstanding. They are helping to set the pace here. This looks, if anything, like it takes business away from local serviced office providers in Washington, D.C. who would have had to rent office space.

Is there a lot of competition for green office space for rent in Washington, D.C. I would think with the Obama eco-friendly talk we’d see more office spaces moving in the direction of green. Looks like Convio is modeling the way. It looks to me like they are letting their nonprofit clients use the meeting space for free.

I’m not clear on whether or not Convio is renting green meeting rooms or just letting its customers use them for free. That’s not quite clear. Maybe it’s just me. In any case, green office space is definitely gaining momentum. I hadn’t heard of Convio, probably because it’s not a serviced office space company. I’m still confused about the offering.
