It won’t be the top of the Empire State Building, but we’re having a little lovefest in New York next month for fans of The 3/50 Project. Thanks to the generosity of George Little Management, this first time gathering of retailers from across the country will focus not only on what The 3/50 Project is all about, but will include examples of how other businesses have promoted the movement, with success.

Whether you’re new to the idea, or one of our early adopters, I hope you’ll join us.

Date: Monday, May 18, 2009, during the National Stationery Show
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Location: Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Room 1C02/03 (lower level)
Admission: Free, but must have a show badge or be a credentialed member of the press
Registration: Required (click here to sign up)
