I know I haven’t posted in a while but it’s not because of lack of topics or writing skills..more like lack of mood and time..So here’s something to makeup..
I was attending a green talk the other day and the host had listed a few important conferences held through out the year on this topic..I thought it might be a good idea to research and blog on it. Below is the fruits of my two hours of deep (?) research..
Net Impact National Conference: This one I have attended and can vouch for; they fill in so many speakers, panels events, you lose a lot of weight just running around trying to make it from one topic to another! According to the site (of which I am a member); “The Net Impact Conference is the only gathering in the world to bring together both graduate students and professionals to explore the latest ideas, tools, and careers that use business to achieve social and environmental good”.

Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) Annual Conference: Regularly ranked by independent analysts as one of the top sustainability conferences globally, the annual BSR Conference is one of the world’s largest events devoted to corporate responsibility. It features a global audience of senior business executives, entrepreneurs, and distinguished leaders from the public & private sector. More info at: http://www.bsr.org
Greenbuild International Conference and Expo: Greenbuild is the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. Thousands of building professionals from all over the world come together at Greenbuild for three days of outstanding educational sessions, renowned speakers, green building tours, special seminars, and networking events.

BioneersConference: For the food lovers; The Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum. At this premiere environmental conference, social and scientific innovators focus on solutions inspired by nature and human ingenuity. I heard the youtube videos of last year’s talk given by Michael Pollan..they were amazing..I would go if I could afford the time and money! Check out details at: http://www.bioneers.org/conference
