Alive2green Exhibitions

Alive2green exhibitions were initially created to enhance the over-all networking opportunities for conference delegates, enabling them to make contact with relevant companies that could improve the way they do business. This year, we are pleased to announce that the Green Home Fair will be a new addition to our line up. All Alive2green exhibitions are free to attend by the public.

What makes Alive2green exhibitions unique and successful?

Decision Makers: Delegates that attend Alive2green conferences are decision makers or managers in procurement positions resulting in meaningful and valuable interaction between both the delegates and exhibitors.
Focussed Sectors: Exhibitors enjoy the benefits of an audience that is relevant to their products and services and who are likely to use them.
Media Exposure: Exhibitors are exposed to various media representatives that often request interviews for products and services that may be seen as news worthy. Alive2green also increases media exposure for exhibitors by filming video interviews that are placed on http://www. Youtube.com/alive2green and promoted on the various sector websites.

What is new in 2013?

Exciting changes are happening in 2013! This year Alive2green is combining all its sustainability events into a one event called Sustainability Week.

Sustainability Week features a 5 day exhibition from 24-28 July, with the first 3 days focussed on trade visitors and running alongside the various conferencing activities, and culminating in the Green Home Fair over the weekend.
Green Home Fair welcomes the public to visit the exhibition and to learn more about the various products, services and technologies that are moving SA towards a more sustainable future. The weekend programme will feature a series of lectures by leading environmental organisations, aimed once again at educating people about how it all fits together and about the role they can play in making South Africa a greener place.

Alive2green exhibitions in 2013:


Sustainability Week 2013: Be there as South Africa engages on critical issues in an effort to make our economy and society more resilient to external shocks such as drought, run away oil prices, extreme weather events etc. Sustainability Week features sessions on Resilient Cities; Green Building; Water Efficiency and Protection; Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; Waste Minimisation and Recycling; Social Housing and the Green Economy.	Green Building Conference and Exhibition 2013: After 6 years of advocacy and knowledge sharing it is now fair to ask: why has green building not become standard practice for new buildings and refurbishments in South Africa? This conference will explore the state of the market, policies and regulations in SA; showcase global leadership, successful policy and seek to create a consensus based series of recommendations for South African regulation authorities.	Vision Zero Waste Seminar and Exhibition 2013: Is it possible to imagine a world with zero waste-to-landfill? What if packaging was minimised and all packaging was recyclable? All e-waste reclaimed by manufacturers? Imagine a policy framework which only tolerated this approach and charged a massive premium for collection of non-separated waste? We open the dialogue from the point of this vision and ask the sticky questions.

Sustainable Water Resource Conference and Exhibition: Day 1: Water and Climate Change – Adapting to Climate Change in SA will largely be a water issue. Day 1 will feature presentations, a workshop & a collaborative report. Day 2: Acid Mine Drainage – Finding Consensus and Proposing Action. Join leading stakeholders to interrogate the possible solutions in a constructive problem solving forum, which could save Gauteng from a calamitous outcome.	Sustainable Energy Seminar 2013: Smart Grids for SA Cities – A more sustainable approach to energy requires a decentralisation of production typified by multiple small producers feeding into a two way grid that optimises peak demand through a matrix of buy/sell rates which incentivise users to adapt their demand to maximise their energy savings/income. This is not a new idea yet in SA smart grids seem a long way off – why?	Sustainable Transport and Mobility Conference and Exhibtion 2013: According to the Deputy Minister of Transport, Jeremy Cronin, the key drivers of transport emissions in SA relate to: a poor modal mix; a lack of sufficient mitigation incentives and problematic socio-economic geography. This Conference will use these points as headings for three distinct discussions. In each case a report back will be generated and circulated to government and the private sector.

Green Business Seminar 2013: Is your business leveraging its green journey for advantage? SA’s imminent carbon taxation is about to enforce much greater levels of accountability for environmental impact on business but customer demand for low impact products and services will continue to be the largest driver of the green economy. The Green Business Seminar provides environmental leadership for business and industry in SA.	Green Home Fair 2013: It can be argued that individual households have more power to change the world’s carbon footprint than industry or commerce do. The home-owner’s choices trigger a chain of events through the economy & environment. GHF communicates with homeowners & the public about how to improve environmental health, increase communities’ climate resilience, conserve resources & live healthier lifestyles.
