Sustainable Business Summit (FEB 5)- McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin

Welcome to the Sustainable Business Summit 2010

Join us for Texas’ premier conference on sustainable business, hosted at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin on February 5th, 2010.

Sustainability is one of the most misunderstood words in today’s marketplace. By bringing together diverse perspectives from the world’s most respected business and sustainability experts, the summit will offer a great opportunity to discuss how the business community defines sustainability and how businesses can effectively implement and profit from sustainable business practices. With a greater understanding of what defines sustainability, you will move beyond “why sustainability,” and engage in discussions on “how” to leverage sustainability in the business world.

Meet leaders from some of the world’s most respected businesses, and discover the sustainable strategies they have used to grow revenues and cut costs. Roll up your sleeves for interactive panel discussions, and network with other professionals in marketing, finance, operations, clean technology, and more.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the 2010 Sustainable Business Summit!
