Growing Green 2012: Confirmed date and venue

Date added: 20 January 2012

The date for the region’s biggest environmental technology showcase, Growing Green 2012, has been announced as Wednesday 21 March.

The confirmed date is different from the anticipated date, which had been expected to be the following day, to accommodate a ‘very special’ guest speaker, set to be unveiled soon.

The venue has been announced as the Bethel Convention Centre (Kelvin Way, West Bromwich) and delegates can book a place at Growing Green 2012 today.

World-class

Growing Green 2012 is your chance to promote your business and learn how to become more sustainable, while celebrating the West Midlands' world-class manufacturing heritage and its potential to lead the way in green technology.

Growing Green 2011 attracted more than 600 people, but in 2012 it is expected that record will get broken and more than 1,000 guests will be welcomed through the door to see the products, components and sustainable solutions made in the West Midlands region.

The varied format will include a hosted buyers' lounge, professional development seminars, factory tours, a black tie dinner and a networking marketplace.

Marketplace

The networking marketplace will feature four zones: Renewable energy and waste management; building and construction; manufacturing and automotive, and transport and logistics.

To exhibit at a 3m x 2m stand for £300 +VAT, please email claire@finditinthblackcountry.co.uk with a description of your company and which zone you would like to exhibit in.
