About John Riley

After 27 terrific years, I\'ve retired from my career at Marriott. And I\'ve begun a new chapter, helping to drive sustainability solutions in the events industry. I\'ve joined the team at TripZero, where we\'re building a different kind of travel company to serve event organizers. When you source your event hotels with us, we’ll save your attendees lots of money. Then, we’ll offset their travel carbon footprint—for free. Along the way, we’ll support amazing reforestation and renewable energy projects. And we’ll share your sustainability story through thoughtful travel websites and marketing tailored to your event. Together, we’ll delight your attendees.Please call me with any questions!John 61••••••61
