Green Drinks is a monthly networking event where people in the environmental field and the sustainably minded meet over drinks (alcoholic or non), usually in an informal setting to exchange ideas, find out who’s doing what and spread the word on what you're doing, find employment leads and make new friends and contacts.
Green Drinks is an international, self-organizing networking group and the Hudson Valley Green Drinks chapter officially launched in April of 2008.
Held at a different location around the Hudson Valley on the second Wednesday of each month (unless noted on the calendar), you’ll meet a mix from NGOs, academia, government, green business, green builders, alternative healthcare, organic farming, authors and artists all involved either professionally or personally in the environmental field. One goal is to have policy makers and planners hanging out monthly over a couple of drinks discussing local plans and concerns with developers, scientists and environmental engineers. It's amazing how a more informal setting can help with understanding positions and concerns.
Events are held from Kingston/Rhinebeck to the north to Beacon/Newburgh to the south. Events are held in locally owned establishments and each month it's held on the opposite side of the Hudson to give people a possible break when driving. You are encouraged to put "2nd Wednesday of each month - Green Drinks!" no matter where it's held. Each city is within reasonable driving distance and if you car pool - even better!
Please be sure to bring lots of business cards to share and please, always remember to drink responsibly.
Check the calendar to save the dates for future Hudson Valley Green Drinks, most 2nd Wednesdays (except where noted).
See you at a Hudson Valley Green Drinks event soon!
