Presented by The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia, The Green Restaurant Association and Fair Food, the SustainaFood Green Restaurant Expo is the ultimate Sustainable Resource event for the local Philadelphia-area restaurant, catering and food industries.
The day will kick-off with an educational seminar, including a keynote presentation and panel, discussing stand-out examples of what it takes to retool your business to be ‘green’ and ‘buy local’, a cooperative business model for sharing resources and cutting costs, proven methods to reduce your energy use and your environmental impact, expert advice on commercial reuse, recycling and composting, all tricks of the trade that lead to a more sustainable business model.
Then the audience will break into a networking session and have the opportunity to browse through vendor tables offering solutions to the discussed challenges.
We are looking for Sponsors and Vendors. If you provide goods and services that help make the food service industry more sustainable this is an excellent opportunity to reach your audience!
