Eat Your Greens: Sustainability Roundtable

SOLD OUT! Unfortunately, this event has limited seating. If you did not get a chance to register, please contact Rachel Martin to see about available spots.

AIGA Charlotte is launching a new event series called “Eat Your Greens”. Our first event will be a sustainability roundtable for designers and creatives of all levels and backgrounds to participate in an open forum discussion about the need for more environmentally- and socially-responsible design in Charlotte's ever-growing city. We will ask each attendee to bring three questions or topics on sustainable design to share and discuss with the group. The format will be set up as a place to exchange sustainable design ideas, engage in a group conversation with our peers and how we can take next steps to make our design community more socially and ecologically responsible.

This first roundtable will also help AIGA Charlotte to determine what the design community is interested in learning more about on sustainable and socially responsible design. The outcome of this event will steer topics for future programming and will help in researching and compiling sustainable resources for printing, paper, packaging, manufacturing, distribution and any other design-related industries, as well as venue and catering options for events locally in Charlotte.

This event is free for our members and open to everyone, but there are only 20 spots available. We'll have light refreshments and local farm-to-table food. If you or someone you know want to make a change and be part of the discussion, please register today!
