I am extremely pleased and excited to announce that on behalf of my company, Water-on-Wheels, I will be leading an education workshop for delegates at the 2012 Festivals and Events Ontario Conference at the Sheraton on the Falls, in Niagara Falls - March 2, 2012!

The workshop, entitled - Going Blue: Eliminating Bottled Water from Your Event - will explore how event coordinators are taking their green initiatives to the next level themselves by providing hydration stations with access to tap water and making their events reusable-bottle and cup friendly. This session will explore the negative environmental impact of disposable plastic bottles at events, the subsequently evolving practices of hydrating guests at events and festivals that have decided to 'ban the bottle', and the impact of bottled water bylaws on festivals and special events across Ontario. We will also discuss unique and innovated ways you can engage sponsors using hydration stations as sponsorable property, and how Water-on-Wheels can help you prove the value of your event's water refilling initiatives.

The workshop will be very helpful and informatiove, it's definitely NOT TO MISS!

Visit the Festivals and Events Ontario website to register for the conference, attend the WOW workshop and visit the WOW booth on the Marketplace tradeshow floor, March 2 and 3rd. See you at the conference!
