Green Festival Expo

We exhibited at the Green festival and were completely blown away with how little attendees the show brought in.
Here’s some fun facts:
This company employs only volunteers to run the show. (No respected and well ran shows use ALL volunteers– very cheap people running this show!)
We saw MAYBE 150 people the entire 3 days show. It was bad. I mean bad. Most vendors packed up and left. Some vendors stayed only to be upset and embarrassed.
They employ a photography company to take pictures at angles and areas that «appear» to be busy and crowded– do not judge your potential experience on their pictures! Just don’t!
They don’t return emails or phone calls. I’ve made over ten attempts in 7 days, nothing.
They lie. They told us they expected 7k-​12k attendees, we saw 150.
BEWARE OF GIVING THIS COMPANY ANY MONEY! I repeat DO YOUR RESEARCH GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING AND ATTEND A SHOW BEFORE YOU INVEST!!! I will try to upload a picture of this shows «crowd» please take a look! This is what the entire show was like! BUYER BEWARE!!!

The Green Festival Expo is an exposition of environmentally-​conscious businesses which occurs in some of the big cities of the United States. They have made their way to Portland at the Oregon Convention Center. An app is available for those who visit any of them. Expect plenty of brochures and volunteering opportunities.
What brought me here was the deal on Goldstar. And I tell you, it was a blast. Cars, food, services, electronics, books, non-​profits and more made their way here. So much was to sample with such great booths at a hundred of them to my estimation. The two hours was never boring. The green economy was shown in an integrated way with big business as not to look too hippie. Someone drove me around the block in an all-​electric car.
Row after row shows the categories. A stage and a bookstore, along with a photo center was there. Although some products looked Dr. Oz-​level superstitious, the products were often great on their own merits. Green vegetables found its way into many of the snacks. A booth was there for green shuttle services, and the app showed me plenty of green items were there for pets. PETA showed a virtual reality video on a phone as if you were a chicken going to the slaughterhouse. Also, an environmentalist religious group was present.
Do go here sometime.
