April’s NYC Go Green Expo is the Place to Be.

March 30, 2009 By: Anna2 Comments

In2Green at the Green Expo

In2Green at last year’s Go Green Expo. Check out the discount below to attend the show.

Last year, I attended the Go Green Expo in NYC in April, 2008.  To say it was spectacular is undervaluing how amazing the expo was.  Three floors of green’ess in every imaginable product.  Clothes, gardening, books, building products, coffee, and food.   We could be here all night if I listed all the different products that were there. I am not kidding.  

 Did I have a blast at the Expo last year?  You betcha, and I can’t wait to see all the new vendors that will be there.  There were alot of vendors I missed to last year since I have a propensity of talking too much. (Anna, say that’s not so. True. Guilty as charged.)

What can I say? If you are vendor, where do you want to be to show off your wares.  Did I hear, “New York”  from the crowd?  Sorry LA, Philly, and all the other cities that hosted the Go Green Expo, there is only one Big Apple.  So, if you want to see a great expo, visit the Go Green Expo on April 17-19, 2009 at  the following address:

The Hilton Hotel New York
1335 Ave of the Americas / 6th Ave at 53rd Street

Want to know what makes this Expo so special? Read on.

Some of the highlights at the show:

  • Over 230 vendors. The show is sold out. (See I told you. NYC is the “it” place to be. I am such an east coast snob.)
  • Actress and Author Mariel Hemingway, TV Star and film maker Nigel Barker, and dozens of other best selling authors and industry leaders will be speaking on how to green your life and business.
  • The Food Network will be creating an urban garden to teach people how to grow their own food.  (Darn it. I know I am going to get bogged down at that exhibit.  Gardeners like to talk shop.)
  • The Sundance Channel will be showcasing their new “green” tv shows.  (Do you think if I ask nicely, they will offer me a job?)
  • the latest hybrid cars from Honda & GM will be on display.
  • a Kid Zone sponsored by Disney Earth (maybe you can remind the Disney people while you are there start using green cleaning products at the park.  Read my story here.)

Last year alot of the vendors were selling their wares at discounted prices.  There was literally no elbow room at the show.   The cost to attend for the weekend?  A mere $10.00.

It gets better.  Read on. The folks at the Go Green Expo love me so much because  of my bang up last year’s post, they have offered all Green Talk readers 50% off the weekend pass.  I know it is only $5.00, but in this economy everything counts.  Use the code: GGE50  when you register.  Registration must be done online before the show in order to receive the discount.

This Expo is worth seeing.  I promise.

    “Go Greenwashing Expo” 2009 – Do yourself a favor, skip this show.

    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?

      Rob, wow. 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
