Overview:

The 2012 Heart of Texas Green Expo was a success!  The survey responses gave really high marks, and our organization made enough money to carry out additional educational and service activities for the coming year.As a result, the Board of KBCB has decided to do it again in 2013 in partnership with Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative.

We’ve reserved the Convention Center for Friday, June 7^th, Saturday the 8^th, and Sunday the 9^th.  Friday will again highlight presentations by knowledgeable individuals who represent state of the art practices in sustainable use of resources.   The educational presentations will be continued on Saturday and Sunday.

Sponsors and Exhibitors will set-up Friday in preparation for our grand opening mid-afternoon on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.

The Green Expo will energize individuals, business and organizations seeking information, inspiration and innovation. Best of all, it will serve as a stimulus to move us in the direction of a culture that is both economically viable and ecologically sound. Our Expo is THE platform to enable your organization to reach thousands of people through our media alliances in television and radio, newspapers, billboards and educational flyers. We will advertise the Expo in multiple markets including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and Bastrop County and through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
