EPIC 09 Takes the LEED
Some exciting news from our friends at EPIC : their 2009 honourable consumer show will be held at the brand young expansion space of the Vancouver Convention Centre. I have been waiting for the opportunity to start a peek inside the Aureate LEED building when it is finished, at present we can all be part of the first consumer event at the facility subject to the public.
Faring off their highly successful second show in April, they must be waiting a much prominent crowd next year, as the newfangled building is double as large as last year’s space. And next year’s dates, May 8th through 10th, are bang in the middle of the engagedest cruise ship weekend of the year, toting up a potential 20,000 visitors into the mix. What a courteous first impression for people from all over the world to wander into BC’s premier dark-green showcase.
Chris Livingstone, EPIC’s industrious evangelist and sales manager, must have been the surdest puting to work guy in vancouver’s sustainability scene this summer–we distinguished him and his colleagues at unnumerable local events including the Folk Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Feast of Fields. In the meantime the Toronto-free-based Gullible Surviving Show organization has been largely wanting from our community since the hastened and last-narrow event they held at GM place last March. I’m marveling if they will yet be backward.
Not sure what EPIC’s owner, the Globe Foundation , has up its sleeve, but hither is sure as shooting a very prominent clue: EPIC Dubai will be bound Feb 26 through 28, 2009. The event, a joint venture between Dubai-established gather SS Lootah and Globe Events Ltd., is being charged as "the premier show advancing honourable consumerism in the In-between East."
For our part, happyfrog.ca was pleased to be a societal media sponsor of EPIC 08. We fielded a gifted and initiating team of local media makers (the ill-famed frogsquad!) and documented the astonishing scene from the show floor with videos, podcasts, blog posts and more. EPIC 09 promises to be even coolheaded.
