2010 Sustainable Operations Summit a Huge Success!




Five years ago at the conclusion of the inaugural Sustainable Operations Summit, I knew we had a special event that would only get stronger with each annual installment. This past Tuesday at the conclusion of the 5th Annual summit, I found myself worrying if we would be able to make this event any stronger than it was this year?

Over the past five years some of the world's leading green minds have spoken at the Sustainable Operations Summit: Al Gore, RFK Jr., Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins, Ray Anderson, David Suzuki and dozens more. We have brought all of these visionairies to educate and inspire our intimate summit audiences with great results.

This past Tuesday we were honored to have President Bill Clinton as our closing keynote speaker at the 2010 Sustainable Operations Summit. President Clinton, as expected, stole the show and perfectly tied together all of the issues that were discussed during the previous 2 days of the summit. With an audience of just under 250 people this was truly a once in a lifetime experience for everyone in the room and set the bar high for us to top next year!

In addition to President Clinton, the summit program included thought provoking and informative presentations by Kevin Surace- CEO- Serious Materials, Jigar Shah- CEO- The Carbon War Room, Michelle Moore- Federal Environmental Executive, Stephen Ayers- Architect of the Capitol, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and dozens more. We would like to thank everyone who made this summit such a great success (suppliers, sponsors, speakers and delegates) and we hope to see you all again next year!
