Green Exhibitor Workshop

Join with Lori Sullivan, owner of OneShadeGreener, and Jerry Neale, president and CEO of Michigan Healthy Living and Sustainability, Inc., for a fast-paced, practical workshop designed to maximize your exhibiting investment and results.

"Business owners register for events with great hopes for success – raising awareness of their brand and making sales of their products & services. The Green Living Festival team wants to support exhibitors with ideas and inspiration, to insure their hopes are realized. Through the Green Exhibitor Workshop, business owners will review green buyer trends and insights. Then, they will work together on ideas of how to set realistic marketing goals for the event, maximize their exhibit space, and develop marketing communications that will resonate with the eco-friendly festival goer. Specific areas to be covered include goal setting, display layout, handouts, giveaways, and pre-event marketing." - Lori Sullivan
