Join the Sustainable Industries Economic Forum this fall for a series of keynote presentations by Paul Hawken, who draws from his wealth of expertise and vision to address both the triple-bottom-line opportunities and frank economic realities of these extraordinary times – all in an exclusive dialogue with the Sustainable Industries community. In addition to Paul’s tour of Portland, Seattle, Santa Monica and San Francisco, the Forum features a special keynote from Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute in Denver. We’re hitting the road to “re-inspire” the inspired; to highlight the infinite multi-sector economic development potential of Sustainable Industries with expert panels of local business leaders; and to connect attendees through high-caliber networking with the purpose of getting business done.

“We’ve garnered tremendous value from supporting the Sustainable Industries Economic Forums. One of our strongest private sector client relationships to date sprang out of last year’s event sponsorship. By aligning ourselves with Sustainable Industries, we built greater credibility in the yes of this and other valued clients”
- Dave Weigel, VP of Marketing, Ecos

The Sustainable Industries Economic Forums are packed with thought-leaders and feature inspirational speakers like Ray Anderson, Van Jones and Kevin Surace. The insights I gain from these conferences are applicable and more importantly actionable. I’m already looking forward to the next Sustainable Industries event.”
- Gary Groff, Vice President, New Resource Bank
