ReuseConex2010, the 1st National Reuse Conference & Expo, is now complete. It was four days of learning, sharing, networking (and even some fun); and the feedback from this first-ever event was overwhelmingly positive!
We had over 200 conference attendees representing 3 countries and nearly 30 states, plus many more expo-only visitors. We would like to thank all of our Speakers, Moderators, Exhibitors/Sponsors, ReArt Exhibit participants, ReFashion Show co-producers, Reuse Tour Leaders, Conference Staff and Volunteers for their part in making this a truly worthwhile event.
We will be uploading the Conference Program, PowerPoints, and Attendee List to our website later next week (we’ll send out a notice); and we will also be sending out our RFP for ReuseConex2011 soon thereafter.
