About Go Green Expo
Launched by Rand and his team at Expo International, Go Green Expo was conceived as a result the movie "An Inconvenient Truth" in 2007 had on Rand. As a producer of over 800 shows and job fairs since 1993, Rand felt creating a business and consumer event that showcased eco-friendly products and innovations was a logical and timely next step in show offerings. Each event features hundreds of green and eco-inspired companies, products and services in all categories contributing to the "All American Green" show philosophy that educates on the benefits of eco-living and simple ways to reduce the carbon footprint.

Go Green Expo also practices a zero carbon footprint and reduced waste approach to event production throughout all its shows.
