Opportunity Green Teaches Eco-Friendly Entrepreneurship
Opportunity Green will hold its second annual conference in Los Angeles on November 7 and 8. This year's theme is "being green + being profitable."
Speakers include Rick Ridgeway (executive vice president of marketing and environmental programs at Patagonia), Tom Szacky (co-founder and CEO of Terracycle), Rand Waddoups (senior vice president of sustainability at Wal-Mart).
The first conference was very successful, initiating conversations about sustainability and business practices. "Honestly, we're back by popular demand because of our uniqueness," said Karen Solomon, the co-founder of Opportunity Green.
Participants in Opportunity Green range from established entrepreneurs to MBA students to non-profit organizers to CEOs. One of the greatest values of Opportunity Green is the chance to discuss sustainability with such a range of people. Michael Flynn, the other co-founder of Opportunity Green, said, "Opportunity Green intentionally mixes left-brain and right-brain thinkers and doers."
The conference will be held at UCLA. Registration fees range from $475 to $875. More information about registration, as well as a full list of speakers is available at the Opportunity Green website.
