The International Green Technology Trade Center is proud to announce its first major executive-level conference at TradeCenter128 on November 19th and 20th.  The IGTTC will be hosting this two-day conference on the evolution of Green Technology and Policy in the U.S., featuring leading venture capital investors, asset managers, management consultants, policy experts, legislators and advisers to President Obama.

Organized by the Center for Innovation, Excellence and Leadership, Hult International Business School, International Sustainable Innovation and the ADZ Group, this two day executive conference was designed for leaders of Fortune 1000 companies who need to understand how innovations in Green Technology will impact their businesses and what the U.S. government’s active support of the industry means for the immediate future. Green Technology firms, venture capital investors and policy experts will also gain from the material to be covered by the expert speakers.

Speakers Include:

Mr. Walter Schindler, Managing Partner at SAIL Venture Partners, one of the world’s leading Green Technology venture investors.

Mr. Kim Schappert, Former President and CEO of JP Morgan Investment Management, Executive Vice Chair of the Americas for Asset Management at Credit Suisse. Mr. Schappert is now launching a new Green Technology fund.

Mr. Mark Goodman, Founder of Terawatt Ventures, a new Green Technology fund based in Cambridge, and Brookline Venture Partners, a highly successful VC specialized in IT. Mr. Goodman is a member of the Clean Energy Venture Group and an original member of the Obama National Finance Committee and Steering Committee.

Mr. Vincent DeVito, Energy and Climate Change attorney at Bowditch & Dewey, and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy for Policy and International Affairs.

Massachusetts State Representative Barry Finegold, Chairman, Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

Mr. Hitendra Patel, Director of the IXL Center for Innovation, Excellence and Leadership and Hult International Business School Professor of Innovation & Growth and a leading international management consultant.

As in all of the conferences hosted at the IGTTC, as much as you will learn from the content of these conversations, we want you to connect with the other attendees and speakers. Substantial time during the conference is allotted for networking, but please contact us directly to schedule a personal introduction with any of the participants. In this way, we can help you connect with the people you need for your business to grow.

Attendance to this conference is extremely limited by design as the organizers hope to achieve a very close-knit experience with a high level of interaction between speakers and attendees. The cost of the two-day conference is $3500, which may be out of reach to many independent Green Technology companies that will be receiving this invitation, but we hope to be able to offer selected seminars as podcasts in the future.

In February of this year GreenBiz hosted the State of Green Business Forum in San Francisco. For me, February seems like a long time ago as unemployment continues to rise, California’s budget is in a dire situation, and companies are struggling to survive.

We need to continue the dialogue that green business and industry is a motivating force to not only bring our economy out of the hole it’s currently in, but how it can grow, sustain us, and how it moves us in the right direction.

One of the many things that excites me about green business is innovation. I get energized when I hear about companies that are creating cool new technology that is green, clean and sustainable.

Invention and innovation encourages more of the same, and as we can now see, new technology and innovation is coming out of the woodwork in such areas as alternative fuel vehicles, smart grid technology, green IT, renewable energy and more.

Of course, innovation is key to moving green industry forward. Check out this video from the forum about using Innovation as a Green Strategy.
