Sustainable Business Conference in Maine
If you're looking for ideas and inspirations for creating a sustainable business, I've got the ticket.
MEBSR is putting on its Spring 2007 conference with two keynote speakers and one very handsome workshop leader. (At least my mom says so.)
I'll be speaking on Holistic Web Marketing: An Integrated Approach to Online Success. If you've been looking to leverage the Internet to generate more leads, convert more visitors into customers, and connect with your customer base, this is the workshop to attend.
So what to do when you're not learning how to drive qualified leads to your Web site and convert them? Well, Paul Farrow, former CEO of Moss, Inc. will be one of the keynotes speaking on "Sustainable Business: It's Not If, But When & How." I've had the pleasure of getting to know Paul over the past few months; he's a great speaker, filled with great ideas, and worth the price of admission alone.
Brian Kuehl, partner at Clark Associates and Harvard Koeb Fellow will be the other keynote, speaking about "Turning the Ship: Environmental Transformation of the U.S. Economy."
Other workshops include:
- Business Problem-Solving Roundables
- Are You Ready? Crisis Planning & PR in the Trenches
- Global Climate Change: Local Knowledge, Action & Solutions
- Brand Positioning: The Good, Bad & Risky of Incorporating Environmental Sustainability
- Tapping a Valuable Labor Source: Employing Individuals with Disabilities
- The Trash You Generate: Recycling Opportunities in a New Light
- Holistic Web Marketing: An Integrated Approach to Online Success (that's me!)
- Strategies for Improving Workplace Productivity
- Community-Owned Department Stores: The Powell Mercantile Success Story
In short, something for everyone.
The conference is Thursday, May 10th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport, Maine.
- Members before 4/30: $100
- Members after 4/30: $150
- Non-members before 4/30: $125
- Non-members after 4/30: $175
Through some weird loophole, if you actually pay on 4/30 it's free.
To make your life even easier, I've attached the registration form. It also includes information on MEBSR's June 7th Leadership Forum at the Mariners Church in Portland, Maine. That one I'm especially excited about, as Bo Burlingham, editor-at-large of Inc. Magazine and author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big, will be the speaker.
Hope to see you there!
