This event will bring together conference delegates and a passionate group of like-minded professional speakers from all levels of government and the private sector. The conference will focus on the latest challenges, solutions and best practices within greening initiatives. Conference participants will have an opportunity to take part in a Q&A after each of the presentations. The breakout sessions have been designed to facilitate more delegate interaction and exchange of experiences. The networking breaks and luncheon are a great opportunity to build relationships and exchange information.
The 3rd Annual Greening Government conference will cover a variety of key topics within greening allowing for participants to further enhance their skills and knowledge on sustainability issues as it relates to their specific role.
