Before Full Circle Fest kicks off, a sustainability workshop for professionals in the hospitality industry will take place Friday, April 26.
To be held at Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the event, titled “Making Sustainability Work for Your Business,” is ideal for hospitality business owners, hotel management teams, procurement specialists and sustainability professionals.
