You Should Know Your Net Impact

The 2011 Net Impact Conference will be held in Portland, Oregon on October 27th to the 29th. For the uninitiated and in its own words, "the Net Impact Conference is the world’s largest and most inspirational event for students and professionals using their business skills to create social and environmental good." I, along with every other current student at BGI, have a student-membership in this organization now holding its 19th conference with over 2,600 people anticipated to be in attendance. The conference gathers together diverse people all doing good work in the wide spectrum of fields associated with sustainability.

For myself, I will seek out other professionals and students interested in international development, using technology in innovative ways to improve education, public health and environmental protection. The conference Website offers social networking opportunities for MBA students, faculty and other professionals to connect prior to the frenetic events next Thursday through Saturday. I hope to see you there.
