Sustainable Industries Economic Forum to Feature Ray Anderson, Several Other Ecopreneurs

The Fourth Annual Sustainable Industries Economic Forum will feature ecopreneur Ray Anderson, founder and Chairman of Interface, a company specializing in sustainable carpets and other industrial products.  The event will showcase a panel discussion with rock stars of the green business world, representing a broad swath of green industries.  The timely discussion for this year’s event will focus on the current economic realities of the green business sphere.

Other speakers and panelists including Anup Jacob, founding partner of Virgin Green Fund, a consulting and venture capital firm affiliated with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, Laura Rodormer, Division Manager of Green Construction for Swinterton Management and Consulting, and Bob Davis, CEO of Sentilla, an energy management company that specializes in reducing energy usage in data management centers.

A breakfast and panel discussion will go from 8:30 to 10:30 AM, with networking and socializing to follow.  I am going and invite readers of Ecopreneurist to join me.  It is sure to be one of the best and most focused events for the demographic readership of this blog.

Scott Cooney is the author of Build a Green Small Business:  Profitable Ways to Become an Ecopreneur (McGraw-Hill).

    Пессимист учит китайский, оптимист английский, а реалист автомат Калашникова! :(
    Как ни грустно, но история человеческой цивилизации обязывает к наращиванию военной мощи.
    Я бы хотел тут увидеть споры не о том “да” или “нет”, а когда, кого и с кем.

    The pessimist learns Chinese, the optimist English, and the realist the automatic machine ak47!: (
    As it is sad, but the history of a human civilisation obliges to escalating of military power.
    I would like to see here disputes not about that “yes” or “was not present”, and when, whom and with whom.

    OMFG! – How do animals similar to Bernaldo Bicoy – who is a twice convicted child molestor make bail?

    This idiot faked himself as a attorney and Venture Capital – VC Research Expert with a slippery tongue to win trust of adolescents. Out of all people, the system releases him home?

    Damn streets of Lake Forest are not safe. How can I petition?

    Hi,

    My friends suggested me to use a mail forwarding company to shop in USA and I found http://www.usamailforward.com
    I’m collecting pens, and I have bought thousands of them from different shops in the USA to my forwarding address, where they were packaged into one box and shipped to me. I’ve got the box in Paris 5 days after it has been shipped. All pens are good! The company is really good in what they do and when I talked to them – I understood that this is because they work as a hole team. Whoever I talk to – everyone was very helpful and never redirected me.
    Please don’t treat this like an advertisement

    Appreciate your contributions, Pamela

  15. Ray Anderson (in the film ‘The Corporation’) inspired the new Turtuga Blanku song “No More” (recorded using solar power only).

    If you are interested, you can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W_sR-fbKo0
    or here: http://www.TurtugaBlanku.com (just hit the play button).

    I’m looking forward to reading his new (2011) book ‘Confessions of a Radical Industrialist’!

    Cheers,

    Turtuga Blanku
