Greetings!        

 

Our Spring Conference was filled with inspiring discussions on environmental and social responsibility topics among engaging people.  New connections were formed and opportunities shared.  But don't take my word; here's what attendees had to say...

 

SprConf2012_Network

The networking session was ... 

 

"fresh, unique and engaging", 

 

"great way to begin a conference - very valuable - every conference design should include this!" 

  SprConf2012_Session

 

Break-out sessions ...

 

"...fabulous presenter...fully engaged the group, gave many valuable tips and insights..."

 

 SprConf2012_AWinston2

 Andrew Winston ...

"without exaggeration, probably the very best speaker and most engaging presentation I have ever seen at a business function."

 

"Many of his examples and comments kept me thinking  long after the conference day."

"...best keynote I've heard in a while" 

 

But it wasn't just the things we planned that made the conference such a success, it was as one attendee put it "convening a diverse and engaged cross section of NH's sustainably minded".  YOU were what made it special.

 

We are always looking to improve our programming and to reach out to include more businesses in the discussion.  If you did not attend the conference, would you mind taking a moment to answer three brief survey questions? Click here for survey.
