Green Drinks International - “The Greener Networking Event”
Every month people who work or are interested in the environment, sustainability and/or in environmental field meet up an informal networking and/or educational event known as Green Drinks.
Each Green Drinks event has a lively mixture of people from non-governme...ntal organizations (NGOs), academia, government, policy, business and even the occasional curious consumer. Just stop by one of our Green Drinks events and you'll feel right at home. It is our goal to make your feel welcome and provide you with an informal and friendly atmosphere. All you have to say is "are you green?" and we will take you under our wing, grab you a drink, and introduce you to whoever just happens to be in attendance.
Green Drinks is a great way of catching up with people, business acquaintances and creating new connections. All those in attendance are encouraged to bring along someone else – whether it’s a co-worker, friend, business partner or relative! We don’t care whom, because all are welcome! This mentality of inclusion ensures that every Green Drinks event is a unique experience, thus making Green Drinks an organic, self-organizing and truly unique network.
Green Drinks events are very simple and unstructured. This gives everyone the opportunity to mingle, not to mention - find employment, make friends, develop new ideas, polish up old ideas, forge partnerships and create moments of serendipity.
