Led by Karen Solomon and Mike Flynn, the Opportunity Green
conference is not only a convergence of today’s top innovators driving the new green
economy, but it is also hip and fun. The summit is a community gathering of the
who’s who of green with some A+ content mixed in. Last year, everyone came back
raving that it was one of the best green conferences ever.
Who will be there?
Nike, Mini, X Prize, Method, Barneys, VerTerra, fuseproject, and ecofabulous
of course! Annie Leonard from the Story of Stuff will also be headlining along
with many others. Opportunity Green aims to inspire a collaborative culture of unconventional
thinking that will push positive change in unexpected ways. With this group all
in the same sunny courtyard, how could it not? See the full conference schedule
here.
I love the focus on opportunity because that is really what the modern
green movement is all about. Opportunities for new high-growth businesses, new green
products and jobs, new audiences, and new ways to improve the well-being of people’s
lives and the planet. And let’s not forget probably the most important - new
friends who share the same values. As the Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu said on
Monday night at the HBSA/NC dinner, “We can lead the new industrial revolution
with America’s
powerful innovation engine. This is a moment for optimism
and opportunity.”
