The inaugural conference is scheduled to take place December 10-11, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.The timing of the Conference coincides with several other major global events taking place: the Nobel Peace Prize presentation to Al Gore in Norway; the UN Post Kyoto Conference in Bali; and the Democratic Presidential debate in Los Angeles, which is sure to include a lively discussion of the candidates' positions on the environment and climate change. The significance of these issues emphasizes the importance, relevance and timeliness of the GreenXchange Conference. As the public and private sectors seek ways to balance the accelerated demand for fossil resources while reducing carbon and other toxic emissions, as well as maintaining economic growth, conference attendees will hear senior executives and entrepreneurs share their experiences of economic benefits driven through their companies' environmental initiatives. The direct greenhouse gas emissions of private, governmental organizations and NGO's may be comparatively small, but in the aggregate, and internationally, they can have a significant impact on climate change. The GreenXchange Global Marketplace Conference is designed to encourage exchange among energy providers, national environmental stewards, and, to afford first-hand opportunities for leaders in the marketplace to share effective practice and messaging on the science and/or solutions to mitigate climate change to the global public.
