Conference Program


Welcome to the Premier Conference on Profitable Sustainability: the Future of Business

The Conference Program Guide is Now available On-line! View Guide

 

 

  • A three-day intensive learning and demonstration event that will give you valuable tools to impact your company’s top and bottom lines.
  • An expo of best practices and new technologies.
  • A think tank for innovative strategies and new business models.
  • A capacity-building conference giving you access to new products, new cost and waste reduction savings, brand enhancement strategies, new marketing opportunities and value-driven financing resources.
  • An exhibition of companies who are demonstrating that Good Business is Smart Business.

Profitable Sustainability is more than a public relations slogan or a rhetorical trend; it is the future of business.

This premier conference is designed to help businesses develop and implement plans for success in a marketplace that increasingly requires conservation of resources, socially responsible practices, skillful use of new technologies, and accountability to a wider circle of stakeholders.

The companies that are able to adapt their practices to these standards will be the “winners” of the future. They will trim costs, reduce risk, gain market share and investor confidence, set standards for others to follow, and be nimble in responding to opportunities.

The conference will focus on new ways of doing business in a context of integrated values. Best practices and leading edge companies, both local and international, will be highlighted along with concrete tools and solutions that can be implemented into everyday business activities.
