Get Involved with Green Festival!

April may seem like a long way off, but when the Green Festival hits New York for the first time ever on April 21st and 22nd at the Javits Center, you'll want to be a part of it.

Green Festival is the exciting synthesis of product expo, business conference, fashion show, food/wine/beer classic, discussion panel and interactive experience attracting over 25,000 vivacious attendees. Merging social, entrepreneurial, and environmental aspects, the Green Festival brings the best of what's green and good right now to New York. And it needs you.

Have something green to say? Apply to speak. Green Festival is looking for panelists and presenters who've done something innovative to better the world in which they live. Slots will fill up by the beginning of February, so act now! If you have an inspiring green presence in your life, encourage him/her to apply!

Have something green to sell? Green Festival is filling its 200+ vendor booths with the finest green goods and services. Whether you're an international conglomerate or a one-woman start up, reserve a booth space today to reach a diverse audience of veteran greenies and those who are, well, green to the green life. Costs and floorplan are available here. Save 5% when you reserve by Feb 10th. Small businesses are encouraged to split a booth space to lessen financial burden.

Have green muscles to flex? Green Festival doesn't exist without a dedicated army of volunteers! Sign up as an individual or enlist en masse with members of your nonprofit, office, campus club or other group. Participating groups can secure weekend passes ($25/per adult for weekend) for their members.

Have green ideas to share? Come to the next Green Festival meeting Wed. Jan 18 6:30-8 at the new REI store on Houston and Lafayette. RSVP by emailing alix@greenfestivals.org.

Whatever role you take, mark your calendars for Earth Day weekend Saturday April 21 (10-7) and April 22 (11-6) at Javits North for the most energetic event of the year!
