Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Alexandria Earth Day event on Saturday, May 2, 2020. Those interested in exhibiting at Alexandria Earth Day may apply by filling out and submitting this form by Friday, April 15, 2020.
The Alexandria Earth Day Committee is committed to minimizing the amount of waste going into landfills. We count on our exhibitors to support our efforts to be an environmentally successful event by adhering to our Zero Waste guidelines (see below). Please evaluate all opportunities to prevent waste. The Alexandria Earth Day Committee will review each submission to confirm the applicant and proposed exhibit meet the above criteria. Each applicant will be notified of its status as soon as possible.
Late Fee
Exhibitors that submit applications prior to Friday, March 30, 2020, are not required to pay a participation fee; however, exhibitors who sign-up between March 30 and the April 15 application deadline are required to pay a $100 late fee.
Set-Up
The Earth Day Committee will provide each exhibitor with a table (2 ft x 8 ft) and two (2) chairs under a group tent. We aim to group exhibits according to categories reflecting the first nine (9) chapters of the City of Alexandria’s Environmental Action Plan 2040 (EAP): Transportation, Green Building, Air Quality, Water Resources, Environment and Health, Energy, Land Use and Open Space, Solid Waste, and Climate Change and Other Emerging Threats. We will provide more information to exhibitors on this concept closer to the event and they will be directed to their final location upon arrival at Alexandria Earth Day.
Sponsorship Opportunities
While the Alexandria Earth Day Committee does not charge a registration fee for timely exhibitor applications, we still must secure funding to pay for event equipment, amenities, and more. Please consider becoming an Alexandria Earth Day sponsor or simply make a donation. The logo of each sponsor will be prominently displayed on Earth Day promotional materials. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming an official sponsor of the event.
Zero Waste
Alexandria is proud to advance its commitment to a near Zero Waste event. We want to practice saying no to waste at our upcoming Earth Day celebration. This starts by asking that planners and exhibitors serve as models of sustainable and responsible resource consumption. The goal of a Zero Waste event is to plan ahead and distribute, only when necessary, materials that are recyclable or compostable. The Zero Waste concept also asks the public to maximize recycling, reduce consumption, and sometimes say “No” to utilizing or accepting waste materials. Please read the Zero Waste Guidelines to learn how to make your exhibit waste free.
