An important message regarding the Achieve Green NW
conference...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 21, 2009
Achieve Green NW responds responsibly by “going
virtual”
The June 1-3 conference is postponed and will re-emerge in coming
months as a low-cost online workshop series more accessible to cash-strapped
businesses and individuals
Due to the economic realities facing many local businesses and individuals who
are under-employed and unemployed, the Achieve Green NW conference organizers
today decided to postpone the event and re-invent it as a lower-cost online
workshop series to be offered throughout the summer months.
“The response to Achieve Green NW was extremely positive from sponsors,
exhibitors, speakers and potential registrants,” stated Jeff Blosser, Achieve
Green NW conference chair and Executive Director of the Oregon Convention
Center. “But in this tough economy, we take to heart that the cost to attend –
in real dollars and in time away from work or not spent looking for employment –
is too much at this time for many Oregonians. Our response: let’s get
innovative.”
The conference was originally scheduled to be held at the Oregon Convention
Center June 1-3 and offered keynote speakers and a series of panel discussions
designed to educate businesses, organizations and individuals on a wide range of
green topics including building management, employee recruitment, marketing and
purchasing. Networking receptions and an electronic packet of “how-to” tools
were included in the cost of registration. Many of the over 50 experts will
contribute to the online series to be announced in early June.
