not in terms of color, but in its focus on environmentally proactive business practices. Why are we taking an eco-friendly approach to our show? With energy prices soaring to record heights, global warming now more than a radical theory, and the world’s resources stretched thin, we thought it was appropriate to get organizations to think about conducting business in the context of how it affects future generations. Contrary to popular belief, most of the time it IS easy being green: energy efficiency and good environmental stewardship often favorably impact an organization’s bottom line. That’s where we got the “Green to Gold” part of our slogan.

The staples of our business show remain the same: its focus on business-to-business lead generation, of course, which is the main reason why the show is the largest, most successful one-day show in the state. With nearly 200 exhibitors and more than 2,500 attendees, we think you’ll agree it’s certainly worth blocking off your calendar.

Also at the show, several artists from Lisbon-based Maine Art Glass Studio will create a giant sculpture out of glass and other materials live at the show. We’ll also have a cell phone recycling station for attendees, distribute free reusable bags to the first several hundred attendees, and close out the show with a giant Business After Hours event, featuring local restaurants.

As always, we’ll give away a number of great prizes as well. Of course, the most convincing reason to attend is to connect with hundreds of business people. So don’t miss out, and plan to attend the Androscoggin Business to Business Trade Show June 12!
