Eco Expo: Celebrating Earth’s Champions
Thursday April 18th, 12-2pm @ Work Heights LEVITATE - 506 Warren Street
Work Heights is delighted to announce the inaugural Eco Expo, graciously sponsored by Clip, the pioneering instant e-bike conversion kit that enhances any traditional non-powered bicycle. This event represents a unique opportunity to showcase the remarkable ventures and initiatives undertaken by members of the Work Heights community, all dedicated to the noble cause of environmental conservation and sustainability.
The Eco Expo serves as a platform for our members engaged in the fields of sustainability and environmental stewardship to present their projects through concise, five-minute presentations. These presentations aim to amplify their efforts, facilitating a broader dissemination of their valuable work to both our community members and the general public.
The event will commence with a catered lunch, kindly provided by Clip, setting the stage for an informative and engaging series of presentations. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the impactful work being carried out within our community. Following the presentations, we will transition to an interactive Q&A session, providing an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the speakers. The day will conclude with a networking session, allowing for personal interactions and social mingling among all participants.
We eagerly anticipate hosting this event and shining a spotlight on the commendable work being pursued within the Work Heights community. This is an open invitation to both Work Heights members and the general public.
We kindly ask interested parties to RSVP to secure their attendance, as space is limited. Join us in celebrating our collective efforts towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
