Our “One Great Idea” session will allow anyone to share a sustainable practice, idea or strategy that has worked for them at their company. Each participant will be given up to 5 minutes to share their practice, idea or strategy and describe why it is a great idea. Please come prepared to share your thoughts and questions.
All sessions and meetings will be video recorded and available after the conference on our website.
