Tis green conference season – a quality problem to have!
This
week I will be at the Sustainable Brands 08 conference by Sustainable Life Media in Monterey, home of the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The SB08 lineup is jam-packed with major brands pushing
the green envelope including Keen, Ideo, Autodesk, Earthbound Farm, Yahoo!, eBay,
Umbria, Frey Vineyards, World of Good, IBM, OZOcar, HP, Seventh Generation, Lexus,
Kimpton, Method, Fetzer, Steelcase, Yolo, Gap, MBDC’s Cradle to Cradle, and
many more that I look forward to learning about and reporting on. Stay tuned
for the best of Sustainable Brands or bust. www.sustainablebrands08.com
In other breaking conference news, there is Dwell on Design in LA
this week, and don’t miss the Greener by Design conference in Alexandria, VA happening June 12 - 13, 2008. Hosted by
the expert GreenBiz, Global Executive, and Greener World Media gangs, this
rendezvous of top eco-focused minds is sure to lead to a brighter green future
for all, and some wild new products. Can we make a building that acts like a
tree? What are the full intentions of one’s
designs? After all, our current troubles
are mostly a design problem. As William
McDonough always says, redesigning the way we make things is the key to
unlocking a sustainable and regenerative future. The result will be nothing
short of a new green “industrial” revolution for the millennium. Hope reigns
supreme. Let the battle of the conferences
begin. See you at the cocktail hour.
