FAQ
|
Can I ship my materials through UPS, FedEx or DHL? |
|
|
Yes, but keep in mind that FedEx and DHL will not pick up on Sundays! UPS Freight will be onsite to handle your shipping needs. It may be more economical for you to take these boxes to your hotel after the event for a Monday pickup. This will vary on a case by case basis. Plan ahead and research.

Can I sell product at the show? Can I sample product? |
|
|
Absolutely! Let Vanessa Driscoll know your intent and which products you would like to sell or sample. Sampling requires strict compliance paperwork contained in the Food Vendor and Samplers Kit. Please download this kit from the Partner Downloads section of the Green Festival website. If you need assistance, please contact Vanessa Driscoll.

|
If I am an partner this year, will you hold my same space for next year? |
|
|
No. We change the floorplan each year to keep the event interesting. No two Green Festivals are identical so you will never have the same experience twice. Therefore, it is not possible for us to fulfill this request.

|

|

How is the event guide distributed? How many are printed? |
|
|
|
110,000 Green Festival Event Magazines will be published and distributed one month before each event. 85,000 Event Magazines will be direct-mailed locally in the each locale to highly targeted recipients. 25,000 Event Magazines will be distributed throughout each region at appropriate sites. The Green Festival Event Guide will be a keepsake, containing all the information about every Green Festival event, partner, speaker, exhibitor and activity.

|
How much does the show cost for attendees? |
|
|
Typically, $15.00 for adults and half price for bike valet, students & senior citizens. Children under 12 are admitted free. Once pricing is finalized for this event, it will be posted to the Green Festival website at least one month prior to the event.
|
|
|
What is the difference between the event guide and onsite directory? |
|
|
|
The event guide serves as a marketing tool and is distributed one month prior to the event. The event guide contains information about the speakers and programming, partners & exhibitors and activities. The onsite directory is a much smaller publication that acts as a map and onsite guide for the event.
