If you enjoyed last year's Green Expo, you're going to love 2011. This year's event is a collaboration of the Arkansas Chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the US Green Building Council (USGBC), along with the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce. Merging three major green events in the state into one, bring real world sustainability solutions to professionals and consumers alike.

If you are dedicated to greener living and sustainable business, the REALgreen conference and expo will have you networking and strategizing with innovative businesses and green leaders throughout the state. If you are newly eco-conscious or still straddling the fence, REALgreen may have eye-opening impact. Come learn why conservation and sustainability are so important, and what you can do in your little corner of the world.

Professionals, business leaders and eco-conscious consumers will see the ambitious goals of LEED, corporate sustainability, and green activism as we explore how these initiatives are being applied in real-life situations.
