Live near L.A.? Head over to UCLA this weekend (November 8-9, 2008) to get down to business-the green way—at Opportunity Green.
The eco-conscious business conference's mission is to, "Create innovation, collaboration and inspiration amongst industry leaders and the next generation of thought leadership to develop and implement sustainable business solutions."
Whether you're an established green company founder hoping to connect with eco-vendors, potential customers or fresh, young talent, or, you're a new eco-entrepreneur looking for funding or investment opportunities—you're likely to find something or someone at the conference to help you on your way to a meaner, greener business.
You'll also walk away quite inspired. The conference has a reputation for lining up some great, green heavyweight speakers. This year's line-up includes reps from Patagonia, Nike Considered Design, Whole Foods, Wal-Mart and green company founders like Josh Dorfman from Vivavi, Joshua Onysko from Pangea Organics, Tom Szaky from Terracyle and many others. Planet Green even has some talent on the scene-hosts Annabelle Gurwitch of Wa$ted and Boise Thomas of Alter Eco!
Though the registration price may seem a bit steep, it's a small price to pay considering the chance to rub elbows with some of the prime eco-movers and shakers in the green business industry.
