    Hadn't seen this in ENTREP - but this is one of those things that make me ridiculously envious. (Teaching? Outreach? Maybe even research fodder?) A terrific program that Paul & Tom are obviously having a lot of fun with.
     
    Sustainably entrepreneurially yours,

    2nd Annual Sustainable
    Opportunities Summit


    The 2nd Annual Sustainable Opportunities Summit will take place February 28 - March 2, 2007 at Sheraton Four Points in Denver --  www.sosummit.org. The summit is co-sponsored by CORE Colorado and University of Colorado Leeds School. As a member of the Summit Team, I want to encourage you to attend the summit and help establish Colorado an international leader in sustainable business.

    Innovators in large and small companies have discovered that the global movement in sustainability opens up ways to make money and boost shareholder value. New products, new services, and new ways of doing business all represent opportunities for savvy companies. Join industry leaders ant the second annual Sustainable Opportunities Summit. You will discover practices to reduce your business ecological footprint and increase its bottom line.

    Who should attend?

    • Corporate leaders will learn from innovators about their business strategies to improve practices, capture new markets, and communicate their activities in sustainability.
    • Entrepreneurs will hear from experts in a range of fields, from green building to clean technology to natural foods, about new business opportunities, and meet potential collaborators.
    • Investors will learn about industry trends, cutting-edge technologies, and new business models.

    What is sustainability?
    "Sustainability is not just cleaning up after yourself. It's not something take care of after business, it's core. Good business means doing good for the planet. The goal is growth, finding new niches, converting waste into product - and crushing the competition."

    Niel Golightly, Director of Sustainable Business Strategies at Ford Motor Company - 2006 Summit Keynote Speaker
