Blue Skies, Green Spaces: Innovations in Sustainable Business, The unConference
Like a conference, only better.
The 2014 SBN TBL unConference is a conference unlike any other. We invite YOU: the innovators, experts, and entrepreneurs to lead the event. Share YOUR story of leading innovation in your industry and learn new strategies from peers.
Continuous Networking
Imagine: all in one place, over 100 people who are passionate about meeting their triple bottom line, and who, together, represent the region’s sustainability ecosystem…from local government regulators…to young social entrepreneurs…to responsible investors…to students (aka the future sustainability stars).
Improvised and Interactive Sessions
It’s a day full of attendee-generated content. If you have an idea for a session, pitch it. There are 8 sessions, if you don’t like one, find another you like better. Sounds crazy, right? But it really works as a way to inspire innovation.
Event Format:
The event will be a hybrid of a traditional conference mixed with eight, 45 minute peer learning breakouts. Nationally renowned business innovators will share their stories, and a panel of tech experts will share creative, practical strategies for digital storytelling.
