We are ramping up for this year’s event and would like to invite you to participate as an exhibitor or as a booth volunteer. We have been given space in the food court area which, given the fact that this will be the Saturday before “Black Friday”, should provide a lot of exposure for participants. If you have a process, technology, or product(s) in keeping with the theme of recycling, conservation, or sustainability, then I hope that you will consider joining us on that day. Note that Z96 Radio will also be doing a 2 hour radio remote at the same location.
Attached you will find an exhibitor application form to complete and return to the Mall management (see the highlighted information below for submission of the form and payment or if you have any questions).
Please feel free to distribute this to anyone that you think may be interested. Updates to follow.
