Business Beyond Tomorrow Conference



Later this week (March 11th-12th) three of Montreal’s business schools, John Molson School of Business, Desautels Faculty of Management and HEC Montreal, will be hosting “Business Beyond Tomorrow”,  a sustainability conference for business leaders, professors, and students to share ideas on how the corporate world can develop and implement initiatives for a more sustainable future.

I'll be acting as a moderator for a panel discussion on Green Building. The whole event promises to be interesting as there are a number of great speakers and participants. Seems like an excellent opportunity to be involved and to meet people who are working in and on corporate sustainability

Oil Sands / Tar Sands: A Balanced Discussion

Tomorrow evening I'll be participating in a public dialogue about the Alberta oil/tar sands industry. I was invited to speak by Concordia's David O'Brien Centre for Sustainable Enterprise. 


The talk was initially part of Concordia's MBA Speaker series, and was simply a presentation by the President of the Oil Sands Developers Group as part of a continuing, government backed $25 million PR campaign, until the DOBCSE decided that this was a topic that needed some perspective. As a result, Cam Fenton from Climate Justice Montreal and myself were asked to share our thoughts on the developments in this industry from an environmental and sustainable business perspective. 


All are welcome. 


Price: $3 in advance, $5 at the door, includes snacks.
