Adrienne R.'s Profile
Green Festival Chicago
I am really impressed with all of the vendors and speakers, however the logistics of the venue almost turned me away before i got in the doors... i rode my bike and expected that biking would be encouraged and celebrated. however, taking the lake shore path, i didn't see any signage or personnel guiding me towards the biking valet, a service required if you want the "i biked to green fest discount." after 1/2 hour biking around mc cormick place, getting yelled at by security officials and given incorrect directions, i found the tiny basement room where the bikes were being stored. not a good system if promoting biking is part of this event... i also had planned on going to one of the 11am speakers, but only caught 3 minutes of his talk because of the hassle of biking here... it would have been helpful to have speakers start at least 1/2 hour AFTER the doors open... otherwise you have to run to get there in time... however, the speakers and vendors i've seen so far have been great!
