ARTA Plans Green Summit July 22-23 to Help Industry Meet the Green Challenge
|
Got Green? Some might argue that Green is a tren d, but legislative and consumer indicators show that the focus on sustainability is here to stay. Indeed, to remain competitive in the future, businesses will need to incorporate sustainable practices into operations and be able to verify those efforts.
This "Green Era" offers a unique opportunity for the textile services industry. We've been providing and supporting a green product -- reusable textiles -- for more than a century! The immediate challenge lies in quantifying the green value of reusable textiles and of our operations, and then marketing those benefits to our customers.
Green Summit Agenda
ARTA will hold its Green Summit in historic Quebec City, July 22-23, at Le Chateau Frontenac Hotel. The meeting will begin  with an overview of new life cycle assessment research (a foundation to make our case), how-to information and tools to help you market the benefits of reusables, as well as information on how to enhance and measure the sustainability of your current operations.
The Green Summit is open to members and non-members alike, but space is limited, so register early to ensure a place. Back by popular demand, the Summit will feature supplier exhibits and sponsorship opportunities.
Who Should Attend?
Owners, operators, marketing and salespersons, managers, sustainability or environmental services managers.Note: Consider bringing your spouse or family with you! ARTA has secured a small block of rooms through the weekend at the $229 rate.
Why Quebec City?
With the ARTA/CRTA merger last year, about 20 percent of our  members are located in Canada. Equally important is the fact that Quebec City is one of the most historically significant cities in the world. Perched on the banks of the St. Lawrence, 150
miles east of Montreal, Quebec City is the only fortified city north of Mexico
and celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2008. The historic city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
The city provides an affordable venue for networking and education, and an awesome opportunity for a personal or family vacation (ARTA has secured the $229 room rate through the weekend following the summit, July 24-25).
Note: Make sure your passport is up-to-date!
