Boston GreenFest 2020 Virtual Business Summit will be a new opportunity for all of us. It will take place on Thursday, August 20 to Friday, August 21, 2020 from 9:30 am -3:00 pm on the Whova app which you can download on your phone or tablet, or access via the computer. It will give you a seamless experience of being at a conference from the moment you step onto the app. The agenda will convey you from the virtual Exhibitor Floor, to the opening remarks and keynote speaker to the breakout sessions and other features. You can easily connect with other attendees and reach out to them in sidebar conversations. The cost for the summit is $20, however it should not be a barrier given the challenges of COVID. Please be in touch with us to apply for a grant.
