GREEN 2010: 5th Annual Green Buildings & Energy Conference

Simon Gruber brings us news of his new conference, Green 2010: Education & Workforce Development for the 21st Century Economy:

I’m organizing this conference on emerging jobs, technologies and education programs in the green sector.  It includes an afternoon panel discussion about local food and sustainable agriculture, featuring several key leaders working on these issues in the region, including the directors of two non-profit organizations, the Glynwood Center and theHawthorne Valley Farm. The other presentations and panels will cover green buildings, including case studies, energy efficiency, water, and education and training issues.  The conference is next Friday and we are still taking registrations.  If people can’t afford the full price ($75, including lunch, breaks, etc. and closing reception) or just want to come for the afternoon they can contact me about a reduced cost.

The conference will be held on December 4th, 2009 between 9 am and 4:30 pm at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, NY. It is sponsored by the Hudson Valley Regional Council, the Environmental Finance Center at Syracuse University & Schein Media Green Business+Careers.
