Those involved with green initiatives in the Enterprise are faced with driving change within their organization, while simultaneously learning. The best source of information for green professionals is the perspective and experience of other green professionals.

The Green Enterprise Unconference is inspired by the "open space" conference format, which puts control of the event content in the hands of the attendees. (For a good description of an unconference event, see http://is.gd/21Nf). The Unconference format allows the best ideas of the group to come forward, facilitates extensive networking, and ensures thorough documentation of the proceedings.

The Green Enterprise Unconference is intended for those in their organizations responsible for green strategy and leading sustainability initiatives. We also expect related professionals, including other corporate representatives (such as from manufacturing, facilities, marketing, or IT); service-related companies relevant to this topic, VCs, the Press, and interested individuals from academia or the public. We expect several dozen sessions covering a broad range of topics relevant to enterprise green strategy, implementation, measurement, education, and practical experience regarding best practices.

The Computer History Museum in Mountain View is a unique venue with plenty of parking and WiFi. Lunch and snacks will be provided, and the Museum exhibits will be open to the group during the breaks.

The event is organized by Forum One Networks, a technology firm which sponsors unconferences of broad interest. For more event information, or information about sponsorship opportunities contact Bill Johnston. bjohnston@forumone.com - (p) 415.299.9638

The addition of a Green Business Award category for neighborhood businesses is new this year. Distinct from other honors bestowed upon businesses that focus on environmental sustainability, the SFNBA Green Business Award will be given to a local small business that fulfills the community-benefit criteria of the general neighborhood business award and is also pursuing green practices.

"With the ever-increasing awareness around climate change, Urban Solutions wanted to acknowledge a neighborhood business that's tackling the issue," explains Jenny McNulty, Executive Director of Urban Solutions. "When a small business, with few resources and a limited budget, dedicates itself to pursuing sustainability, that's what I call a true hero - to be applauded and thanked for their efforts," notes McNulty.

The San Francisco Neighborhood Business Awards, now in its fourth year, is also an opportunity for Urban Solutions to raise visibility about its programs supporting small businesses and microenterprises, as well as a fundraising event to support the nonprofit's many programs.

$50.00.

Therefore, in light of the fact that the green movement has many divergent and potentially confusing aspects NAA will host a conference that assembles experts from all sections of the green building/management movement (green development (general green, mixed use, transit oriented, etc), green building criteria, green marketing, green property management, etc) under one roof so that attendees will come away with a complete understanding of how green will affect and potentially benefit their multifamily property.

Educational topics offered at the conference will include:

1. The National Green Building Standard and LEED- What They Mean to the Multifamily Housing Industry
2. Greening Multifamily Properties and Enhancing Your Net Operating Income
3. Green Regulations, Incentives and Mandates
4. The Costs and Benefits of Sustainable Design
5. The Multifamily Investor and Apartment Resident - Will They Care
6. Supplying Green Builders, Developers and Managers

In addition to the education sessions, the conference will feature a state of the art trade show for apartment industry suppliers to showcase their valuable green products and services.

And Social Capital Markets 2008 (SoCap08) is a new event designed to bring together all of the people and organizations with a similar deep passion to change the world through sustainable businesses.

We're at the cusp of a massive sea-change in the ways that businesses can impact global and local problems. In the past, startup profit-motivated businesses were funded by risk capital, and socially-focused organizations were supported by philanthropy. The profit-oriented were rarely allowed to let a social mission intrude, and the socially-oriented were discouraged from building sustainable businesses. But a new breed of entrepreneurs - and a new mentality of those who fund them - is changing the landscape of business, investing and philanthropy.

At SoCap08, attendees will learn what works and what doesn't in this new world of social capital and social entrepreneurs, which hybrid social & business models reach sustainability and which don't, and where this emerging industry is headed. Attendees will be able to network with their peers, discovering a whole new realm of people they had hoped existed - organizations, groups, and individuals who share the same intention to launch and support sustainable businesses designed to impact global and local problems. Investors and entrepreneurs will find themselves helping to build a new community, gaining encouragement as they realize that they are not alone, but are part of something big, important - and rapidly growing.

At an ordinary event, the content on the panels and keynotes reflects the conversation in the halls. At a good event, the content on the panels and keynotes guides the conversation in the halls, helping it go further, focusing the passion of the participants on the key challenges and opportunities in front of them. At a great event, the conversation in the halls becomes the content on the panels and the main stage, the network connections become the narrative for the commons - and a new industry will begin to form. SoCap08 will be that kind of event.

October 26-30 in San Francisco, California

Join us this October in San Francisco as we continue to explore what’s possible in shaping the landscape with public transportation and other progressive livability strategies.

The Bay Area is one of the most culturally diverse and sustainable areas in the world. This region has identified creative solutions facing all of us – climate change and dwindling resources, sustaining a healthy economy, addressing the needs of diverse cultures, and proactively financing infrastructure that supports livable communities.

Community activists, non-profit organizations, transit leaders, developers and city planners throughout the Bay Area have joined forces to develop creative, adaptable solutions for addressing the transportation and global warming crisis. The creative people in the Bay Area – from the Silicon Valley up through the San Francisco peninsula and Oakland in the East Bay to the vineyards in the North Bay – all have united to shape a meaningful future for our communities.

Come to San Francisco this fall to share your experiences, see first hand how a diverse region is collaborating to provide a green and livable future, and take home some innovative new strategies for your community.

Bioneers was conceived to conduct programs in the conservation of biological and cultural diversity, traditional farming practices, and environmental restoration. Our vision of environment encompasses the natural landscape, cultivated landscape, biodiversity, cultural diversity, watersheds, community economics, and spirituality. Bioneers seeks to unite nature, culture and spirit in an Earth-honoring vision, and create economic models founded in social justice.

Restoration addresses the premise that "sustainability" is problematic in the context of an environment that is already depleted. As Paul Hawken has noted, sustainability is simply the midpoint between destruction and restoration. The goal of Bioneers is restoration, addressing the interdependent array of economics, jobs, ecologies, cultures, and communities.

Bioneers are biological pioneers who are working with nature to heal nature and ourselves. They have peered deep into the heart of living systems to devise strategies for restoration based on nature's own operating instructions. They come from many cultures and perspectives, and all walks of life.

Bioneers are scientists and artists, gardeners and economists, activists and public servants, architects and ecologists, farmers and journalists, priests and shamans, policymakers and citizens. They are everyday people committed to preserving and supporting the future of life on Earth. They herald a dawning Age of Restoration founded in natural principles of kinship, interdependence, cooperation, reciprocity, and community.

Uniting nature, culture, and spirit, Bioneers embody a change of heart - a spiritual connection with the living world that is grounded in social justice. Their pragmatic strategies effectively address many of our most pressing ecological and societal challenges.

Above all, Bioneers represent a culture of solutions. Their stories demonstrate that just as people have created the environmental and social problem we face, people can solve them - through a reciprocal partnership with nature. Over and over, they show how great a difference the actions of one individual can make.

A joint project of two national nonprofit organizations, Global Exchange and Co-op America, Green Festivals bring together local and national socially responsible businesses, and environmental, social justice and community organizations. Hundreds of thousands of concerned individuals over the years have attended these “parties with a purpose” aimed at forging a just, sustainable, inclusive economy – a green economy.

Green Festivals are a walk through a sustainable community. It starts with the personal: how people can make their lives work better. Individuals and business and community leaders also come together to discuss social and environmental issues of personal, local, national and global concern. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that serve the community. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed, and skills are shared to empower people to create a livable community. Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without music, art, culture and delicious food – all from local-based organizations and businesses.

For more information about the two sponsoring organizations, see www.globalexchange.org and www.coopamerica.org
