West Coast Green is in full effect at Fort Mason in San Francisco. The conference has become a leading forum for environmental and social change. Four years since it’s inception, West Coast Green continues to provide dynamic, big-picture, systems-thinking education, strategy, connections and professional development to those seeking a better world. Throughout the year the organization works to serve the community in part through West Coast Green Institute(WCGI).
WCGI has developed a program dedicated to transforming low-income communities into ones that are sustainable, healthy, empowered and vital neighborhoods. Some past projects have been the Fort Mason Design Slam, the Innovation Pipeline and Green Jobs Pavillion; a live multi-media, interactive space simulating our future economy right on the tradeshow floor. Attendees were introduced to more than 50 employers, training centers and financial resources. This allowed them exposure to opportunities in the green industry.
This years’ conference called, “Where Innovation and Opportunity Converge” brings together more than 150 speakers such as Arianna Huffington, Van Jones, Lisa Michelle Galley, Arno Harris, Panama Bartholomy and Hunter Lovins just to name a few. Hundreds of green companies are exhibiting and thousands of people will attend. The creative festival like nature of the event has made it something you, family and friends will really enjoy.
