LondonAware ’08 Event Review and Competition Winner

Last weekend at the Barbican Centre, the inaugural LondonAware’08 event took place in Hall 1, organised by the team at UK Aware.

The Low Carbon Economy Ltd were proud to be main sponsors of the event, and to exhibit for both days.

We were impressed by a number of things at the event: the diversity of visitors, the quality of organisation and the feeling that this was the start of a new community as well as a new event.
There was a really healthy mixture of exhibitors, from high street brands through to green specialists and very small organisations just starting out or working not for profit. Importantly, there was something to learn from each stand, and we really felt that embodied the spirit of a low carbon economy. In many ways, it’s really an ideas economy, an analytical thinking economy that we need. One in which we improve our lives through efficiency and living sustainably.

Although I didn’t attend any of the speaking sessions (too busy just walking around meeting everyone), they were well-attended and lively.

And so, what you’ve all been waiting for: the results of our ‘Win a model fuel cell car competition’! And the winner is: Noelia Barquero S., Sales Manager, Alara Wholefoods Ltd
Well done Noelia, we hope you enjoy the fuel cell kit!

We’ll definitely be supporting UK Aware’s future events, and recommend them if you’re interested in green ideas for everyday living.

Come and visit our stand at LondonAware '08 this weekend

The inaugural LondonAware event (www.ukaware.com) is on at the Barbican Centre Hall 1 this weekend (10th and 11th May). The Low Carbon Economy stand is all set up and ready to receive visitors, we've got our business cards at the ready and we're keen to show people what we do and how we think it can help you.

We're on stand number 42, so if you're around central London this weekend and want to find some green ideas for everyday living (the show's slogan), then drop in. We had a sneak peak at some of the stands yesterday afternoon whilst we were setting up, and they look fantastic. It's going to be a great event, and a really solid foundation for future events, both in London and around the country.

The Low Carbon Economy stand

If you need any more good reasons to come along, I've got two right here. First, by dropping your contact details or business card in our bowl, we'll enter you into a competition to win a fuel cell car kit. The second reason is that we've got a limited number of free credit vouchers worth £50 when you spend £250 or more on advertising credit for use on www.lowcarboneconomy.com. "A competition for a fuel cell car and free credit, all on one stand?" I hear you ask: Yes - that's right, so come on down and visit us at the Barbican centre this weekend.

We'll add a post-event review here next week for those of you who can't make it along this time. As a very special offer, we've decided to extend our voucher goodwill to people who read our blog. We're going to save 5 vouchers (worth £50 when you spend £250) to give away to the first five people to leave comments on this post asking for one. They need to be used by the end of May, so write now!
