PowerPlant Vancouver

POWER PLANT is a Green Gathering for Green Leaders to rub shoulders, show-and-tell, celebrate, chat and sip. Plan to attend this unique and fun networking event for a dynamic crowd of sustainable business leaders, social entrepreneurs, eco-adventurers, green artists and more. Power Plant is an innovative and casual approach to networking with the aim of celebrating success, sharing ideas and knowledge, creating strategic partnerships and gathering to promote growth of the Vancouver green economy – while sipping an after work bevy or two! The free event features quick presentations from several green community leaders. Speakers have exactly 10 slides displayed for 20 seconds each to deliver their compelling story. This could be anything from sharing about their company and acknowledging achievements to launching a new program and raising interest for partnerships. That’s 3 minutes and 20 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise and the interest level up during the high-energy showcase. Power Plant Connectors help introduce guests and make purposeful connections (perfect for wallflowers!). Power Plant is a green event, which means environmental considerations are accounted for at every stage to minimize the events environmental footprint. Event greening includes things such as electronic registration, paperless tickets and social marketing to cut down on paper, collateral and event signs are reusable and made from environmentally friendly materials, a central location to minimize travel and promote eco-ridesharing program, public transportation and cycling and the venue is green with the help of Green Table Network. Power Plant is hosted every two months in downtown Vancouver. The location for Power Plant this month is Granville’s newest hotspot, The Refinery. The gorgeous room designed with the environment in mind has used sustainable materials, LED lighting and energy efficient equipment. They are committed to a sustainable work environment and a Green Table Network member. Their award-winning mixologist Lauren Mote, will create divine organic cocktails especially for Power Planetarians. Tickets are free with pre-registration online. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
