Dear Potential Exhibitor,

The first Atlantic Eco-Expo will be held at Halifax Exhibition Park on November 21-22, 2009. The goal of the event is to showcase sustainable products and services to thousands of individuals, organizations, and government agencies. The Atlantic Eco-Expo is seeking out organizations that provide sustainable solutions for eco-minded consumers and businesses. Each organization will be “green screened” by an internal review board to ensure the products and services are truly sustainable.

We are passionate and driven about improving the condition of the environment and economy by educating citizens about sustainable choices. Your organization has demonstrated a strong commitment towards sustainable development, and we feel you would be an excellent exhibitor at the event.

Events similar to the Atlantic Eco-Expo have already been held in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Calgary. The 2008 Green Living Show, hosted in Toronto, attracted over 400 exhibitors and more than 30 sponsoring organizations. With Nova Scotia being a national leader in sustainable initiatives, an event of this nature will strengthen the province’s role as a leader in sustainability. Furthermore, findings from a survey of Halifax residents indicated that there is considerable interest for an event of this type.

The Atlantic Eco-Expo invites your organization to be an exhibitor at this event. With participation from socially responsible organizations such as yours, the Atlantic Eco-Expo will be able to unite individuals and organizations who are willing to work together. We are asking exhibitors for in-kind donations that will be auctioned off at the event. Profits will be split equally amongst not-for-profit exhibitors. We look forward to working with your organization, to insure that eco-minded consumers become aware of your sustainable products, services, and initiatives.

Sincerely,

The Atlantic Eco-Expo Organization Committee
