From Green Drinks to Green
Links @ Green Drinks Panama !
In the short four months since itʼs debut at the end of
June,2012, Green Drinks Panama has established itself as the
main networking event for professionals and individuals,
working or interested in Sustainable Development, from green
building to organic agriculture, energy efficiency to bio
engineering and more….
Every last Tuesday of the month, a steadily growing group is
meeting and getting to
know each other, meet the person behind a business card or
company name, ask
questions and exchange information. There is indisputable
value to these informal
meetings; we have added one or two short presentations on
subjects that are related to
the monthʼs theme, given by field experts who connect
directly with their audience and
have a chance to expose their ideas, knowledge and
experience and start a discussion
that oftentimes lasts long into the night….
In the past month we went way beyond our original event,
organizing the “Green
Welcome Cocktail” at ARE Green Expo (Oct.2-4 in Ciudad del
Saber) where we shared
our concept with guests from Colombia, Mexico, Spain and
Ecuador and leading a
“Green Tour” to the Morgan & Morgan Tower in Costa del Este,
the first LEED Gold
office tower to be built in Panama. Hosted by Project
Manager, Ing.Juan Felipe de la
Iglesia, the Saturday morning tour in which more than 20
Green Drinkers participated,
was extremely interesting and informative, giving us the
chance to see the reality of a
series of concepts and standards that LEED certified green
buildings need to
accomplish.
Always looking for ways to grow and improve our activities,
Green Drinks Panama
organizer, Diana Storin had a chance to meet with Nitin
Dani, President of Green Drinks
China, an organization that has now 8 chapters in different
chinese cities; we decided to
exchange information and work together in order to promote
green business and
collaboration in both Panama and China.
Going forward and looking into 2013, we would like to expand
our value added offerings
and continuously support sustainable development in the
country, by becoming THE
meeting and connecting center for Green Business and
Information.
A website is in the works, as well as channels in various
social media networks and
participation in print and TV media; in order to be able to
continue keeping our events
free, interesting and diverse, we welcome sponsors and
partners who would be
interested to associate themselves to our platform.
