Expo Info Sessions
2008 Info Sessions - Final list
You are invited to present an Info Session.
The Pinllas Living Green Expo is currently accepting proposals for Info Sessions for the 2008 Expo, May 3-4 at the Harborview Center in Clearwater. Workshops will be an integral part of the Expo experience.
Benefits of presenting
Presenters benefit from giving their message wide exposure, including access to thousands of visitors at the Expo, promotion on the Expo website, and a listing in the Expo brochure. Stipends are not available.
Focus of Expo Info Sessions
Pinellas Living Green Expo Info Sessions emphasize specific direct actions individuals can take on their own in order to build personal responsibility and develop a green marketplace. We are most interested in Info Sessions that build enthusiasm among attendees for sustainable living, rather than ones that overwhelm them with information about the unsustainability of the American lifestyle. In addition to pointing out the environmental benefits of the product, service, or approach, Info Sessions may also emphasize other benefits:
- saves money
- saves time
- is safer for personal health
- is just and humane
- is good for local economies
Expo Info Sessions may touch on the negative environmental and social impacts of typical consumer products, services and behaviors, and on the need for citizen action to change the market and political barriers to growth of the green marketplace.
Info Sessions could include topics from composting to installing solar energy to alternative gift-giving to permaculture. Just to name a few.
Expo Info Session format
Two 35-minute Sessions (30 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions) will run concurrently covering different subjects. Participation in each session will be on a first-come first-served basis. On Saturday, May 3, the first session will begin at 9:30 am and the last one will begin at 4:00 pm. On Sunday, May 4, the first session will begin at 10:30 am and the last one will begin at 3:30 pm.
Four Info Sessions will also run concurrently.
The deadline for applying is April 1, 2008.
