Abstract
Spend an enjoyable evening with Rob Bernard, Chief Environmental Strategist and Microsoft, and learn why sustainability is no longer just a moral argument made by tree huggers and environmentalist, but one that now has the full-throated support and resources of major businesses aligned to solve this problem. The enormous consequences of climate change and human activity are no longer theoretical, giving rise to an entire ecosystem of established companies and startups that collectively seek to solve or mitigate ramifications associated with water, drought, food, energy, and more. In addition to Rob's keynote talk, we will also have panelists discussing the local challenges that face us, and the emerging opportunities and initiatives some companies and organizations in town are already pursuing.
Featuring IEE Researcher: Jessica Perkins
