The very cool and very educational West Coast Green will be in San Francisco next week, October 1–3, 2009. It’s the largest conference on green innovation for the built environment on the west coast, and will be packed with educational seminars, trade show exhibitors, and showcases. Plan your schedule precisely for each day and get ready for a serious infusion of multi-faceted and valuable learning.
This year, there will be a Green Jobs Pavilion, Entrepreneur Training sessions, and Leadership Summits which includes the Fort Mason Design Slam. Check out the hanging garden, suspended from a bamboo structure over the bay, which treats stormwater, and a self-sustaining off-grid relief structure which unfolds in less than 2 hours from a shipping container. Very fascinating stuff from very creative and inventive people.
The conference will be a confluence of thought leaders and visionaries of green innovation, building, business and design. The line up of speakers is stellar: Ray Anderson, Chairman and Founder of Interface, Inc.; Eric Corey Freed of organicACHITECT; Kirstin Miller, Executive Director of Ecocity Builders, Inc.; Gil Friend, CEO of Natural Logic; Kevin Surace, CEO of Serious Materials; Alex Wilson, Founder and President of Building Green, Inc.; and many more experts will share their knowledge on topics ranging from responsible manufacturing/design and building technology to public policy and sustainable solutions.
Stimulate your thinking, be a change agent, and help make a positive impact on our planet. See you at West Coast Green!
