Things are heating up for the biggest green branding brain fest in North America. June 3 – 7, representatives from the sustainability industry’s biggest and brightest gather in San Diego California to compare notes on corporate initiatives, consumer expectations and organic alcohol. Once again I am heading south to immerse myself in this green culture, though not on Amtrak this time, as the additional distance makes it just too far to sleep in the bar car, even for me. Stay tuned to see how I deal with this carbon conundrum…

And, as a semi-official blogger and Sustainable Brands alumni, I have been granted special dispensation to offer a 20% discount code to any of my legions of loyal followers. So if you want the ultimate green brand networking experience, let me know. It’s going to be an amazing week.

Here is the link to the official program so far. Speakers include representatives from:

• National Geographic
• Lush
• Ford
• Intel
• BASF
• World Wildlife Fund
• Safeway
