Here's what exhibitors had to say about last year's event:
"I wanted to let you know that I thought the Green Brooklyn event was very much worth our while. I had terrific traffic and I will be doing lots of follow up. I cannot remember a significant stretch of time during the entire afternoon when there weren't people talking w/me or reading our materials, or signing up to get posters."
- Teresa Ippolito, US Environmental Protection Agency
"Thank you for a great event yesterday! We sold a lot of shoes and the retailer that we teamed up with (Half Pint Citizens) was very happy."
- Chad Valchar, Simple Shoes
"We had a great day... my feet still hurt and my voice is still hoarse!"
- Andrew Deluca, Magic Pest Exterminating
