The Location:  The Conference will be held at the Marriott Spring Hill Suites/Devens Common Center located on the former Fort Devens, a decommissioned military base repurposed as an Eco-Industrial Park that has a Zero Waste goal.  Devens Common Center is located about 1 hour west of Boston and about 1 hour south of the Manchester, NH airport.

The Venue: Devens Common Conference Center is operated by Marriott. As part of their efforts to become an EcoStar Achiever, they provide comprehensive recycling services, compost food scraps and soiled paper and will work with GRRN and our local hosts to make this a Zero Waste Event.

The Exhibit Hall: In order to keep costs low and increase foot traffic, the exhibit tables will be located in the main ballroom where the plenary sessions, general sessions and most of the breakout sessions will take place. Exhibitors will be able to enjoy all the conference proceedings, have significant foot-traffic throughout the entire event, and can easily staff the booth without missing any events, meals, or sessions instead of being isolated in a separate area.

Cost:  $500 includes an 8’ table with skirting, chairs, one full conference registration plus discount on an additional full conference registration. Vendors will not be required to use convention center labor to unload their displays.  Pipe and Drape is not provided but adequate space for your exhibitor display and products will be available. 110 electricity available by request (quantity limited) included in the exhibit fee. Easels rentals are available for signage for an additional $16.00 per easel per day.
