Presented by

Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Time: 8am-2:30pm
Location: SBA Entrepreneur Center, Training Room
455 Market Street, 6th Floor

This conference can help you build the marketplace for your business, connect with like-minded business visionaries, and learn how and why green businesses succeed. If you’re not already a green business or want to take your company to the next level, this is the place to start. This is no ordinary business conference but rather a hands-on experience in the green business revolution.

Green businesses operate in ways that solve, rather than cause, both environmental and social problems. These businesses adopt principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for their customers, their employees, communities, and the environment.
