One thing I would like to say that the Go Green Expo, despites the issues that you mentioned above, does allow vendors to display their goods to an audience who may not otherwise buy green. I personally think this is a good thing. I met last year some amazing companies who are passionate at what they do. Rob, in regards to the other information about Bradford, how did you learn about Bradford's other ventures? Anna Rob, wow.

The second annual "Go Green Expo" is gearing up to hit NYC on April 17-19, soliciting huge profits from "corporate buyers and trade professionals", touting its "commitment to green" to give attendees the "chance to see, learn and interact with the latest in energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly products and services, as well as participate in interactive seminars with leaders in the green industry, local politicians and community organizations." Now let's see....Go Green Expo is produced by Expo International, the very same events production company that continues to produce "Tech Expo TOP SECRET", an internet job fair for military personnel, as well as job fairs for aniti-environment military contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Booz Allen Hamilton. Even worse, the company's self righteous grand wizard, Bradford Rand, is the proprietor of none other than RAND LUXURY (www.randluxury.com) a trade show dedicated to wretched excess beyond compare and catering to the very ideas that are ruining the planet. According to RAND's own website: "the RAND team is best known for its "Evening of Luxury" events where RAND links up with luxury auto manufacturers to support the launch of their newest and hottest automobiles. In the past year alone, RAND aligned with Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley & Spyker. Adjacent to these fine motorcars, RAND creates a luxury lifestyle experience by inviting complementary brands to showcase their goods and services to the distinguished list of guests that RAND invites to its events." The site continues to cite its other luxury brands, such as Marquis Jet, Citation Shares and Lufthansa Private Jet Services. All of which, mind you, are NOT considered eco-friendly or progressively fighting climate change. According to Rand's own corporate bio: "Bradford also co-founded New York's largest fine motor auction & luxury lifestyle expo in 2005; Rand/Workman. The show was one of the region's most publicized events of its kind; with over $35 million dollars in automotive bids, over $2 million in sales from the wine auction, over 100 luxury sponsors & exhibitors and a showcasing of some of the rarest automobiles in the world." "As a true automotive enthusiast, Bradford has owned & restored both Ferraris and Porsches." Good job, Bradford. Contribute even more to our oil addiction by putting even more gas-guzzling, wretchedly over-indulgent cars on the road. Hey, as long as your pockets are "green", who cares, right? “Go Greenwashing Expo” 2009 – Do yourself a favor, skip this show.
