MISSION, Kan. — Due to higher-than-expected sponsor support for the American Reusable Textile Association’s (ARTA) first-ever Green Summit in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, the organization has reduced the registration fee through June 15.

The new Green Summit registration fee schedule is as follows:

•     Operator Members: $395
•     Operator Nonmembers: $495
•     Supplier Members: $495
•     Supplier Nonmembers: $595

Operators who have already paid the $495 registration rate will receive a rebate check following the Summit.

“As a non-profit and volunteer-supported association, ARTA’s goal is to break even on education events,” says the association in a press release. “Due to the tremendous support from our sponsors, we have already reached this point with the Green Summit and, on their behalf, we are offering the special pricing.”

The July 22-23 meeting at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac will feature an overview of new textile life-cycle assessment research, how-to information and tools to help attendees market the benefits of reusables, as well as information on how to enhance and measure the sustainability of current operations.
