The Greening Government conference will be hosted in Toronto for its 3rd year and was held for the first time in Ottawa this past November 2011. After completing several successful conferences NCM GOVEVENTS has developed another new dynamic program which will include panel discussions and breakout sessions.
This event will bring together conference delegates, a faculty of 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 Q&A after each of the presentations and the breakout sessions have been designed to promote open dialogue. The networking breaks and luncheon is 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. Delegates will come away with innovative solutions and execution strategies that will make a difference. After the conference delegates will receive online access to all the speakers’ presentations for their reference. We look forward to seeing you in June 2012.
Experts will address a range of key topics, including:
- Updates on Success and Obstacles of the Federal Sustainable Development Act
- Using Green Procurement to Make a Difference
- Educating and Engaging Staff on the Importance of Greening Initiatives Through Various Channels
- Green Fleet and Transportation Programs - Strategies for Reducing Fleet Emissions
- Performance Based Solutions for Sustainable Infrastructure
