After watching Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth, trade show producer Bradford Rand was motivated to help do his part to address climate change. His answer was the creation of the Go Green Expo. The expos are held every year in cities across the country, bringing together business owners, community activists and everyday people to learn more about how they can “go green” and make a difference.
