Greendrinks brings together a lively mix of people from all walks of life: academics, NGOs, local businesses and government agencies. The goal is to create an organic, self-organizing network where everyone is welcome. It's a great way to catch up with people you already know

Folks, this is your reminder to dazzle us with your own snazzy looking cup! 🍺 Bring it with you!

Not only do we always love to see the creative cups people bring✨but it’s also an important part of our mission- being green and sustainable. 🌿 While we do occasionally offer cups at the door, this isn’t the most sustainable option for drinking. So, join the cause and be sure to remember to always have a cup in hand when you attend our events. Also, this is a good time to let you know we will begin charging for cups starting this upcoming event 💸

We can’t wait to see you and whatever cup you bring to enjoy the delicious beverages we’ll be serving up!
Cheers! 🍻
