Solutions Labs 2010: Launching the next generation of environmentally sustainable business

Tags:

Join us at a Green Innovation in Business Solutions Lab in a city near you.

At these one-day workshops, held in ten cities in 2010, leading thinkers and “doers” from business, academia and organizations are coming together to explore the next generation of business sustainability—one in which we can grow profits for our companies and create positive impact on the planet.

The Solutions Labs use the "unconference" format -- meaning you help craft the agenda. Instead of listening to panelists all day, participants actively network and brainstorm the next "big ideas" for accelerating green innovation.

Finding Innovative Solutions at the DC Solutions Lab

On May 27, the Green Innovation in Business Network brought the Solutions Lab Series to Washington, DC. For those not in the know, the Solutions Labs are an amazing workshop that travel to multiple cities throughout the US and allow participants to discuss sustainability issues that are relevant to them and work collaboratively towards their solutions. This was year two for GIBN, and for me (which qualified me as a wily veteran, I suppose). I frankly favored the format this year over last year's – primarily because we were given the expectation of a final product at the end of the day- which helped drive fruitful, goal-oriented discussions. >Read More
