Steamboat Springs, CO, June 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sustainability Summit ‘09 conference and exhibition showcase will bring together corporate visionaries, policy makers, environmental advocacy groups and leading experts to discuss financially viable practices and strategies that address and mitigate corporate impact on the long-term health of the earth. A significant aspect of this leading-edge conference, which will be held May 27 – 28, 2009, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California (in the heart of Silicon Valley), will be its use of telepresence technology to facilitate interaction and participation between live presenters and delegates from around the globe. As a result, Sustainability Summit ’09 will have access to a world-class, diverse consortium of participants who will be able to share innovations and solutions with conference delegates in an effort to bring about real change within the global economic community. Attendees will gain insight into the challenges facing corporations in this era of global change, hear from top innovators who have already made a difference, understand the tremendous growth potential in the sustainability marketplace, and learn how to align their businesses to take advantage of this growing trend toward eco-responsibility and clean technology.

The organizers, Hemisphere Expo Services, invite industry leaders, researchers, engineers, scientists, architects, economists, consultants, and policy-makers to participate in this exciting event.
