If you're like most architects and interior designers, you're feeling the pinch of the economy. You are not alone. Some firms are facing difficult decisions about closing their businesses or reducing staff. At the same time, there are firms that are busier than ever.
What are they doing differently? They are specialists in eco-friendly and sustainable design. They've built their brand around environmental responsibility and the consumer- driven demand for energy-efficient and healthy spaces and buildings. In fact, 82% of Americans believe it is "important for companies to implement environmentally friendly practices." - McGraw Hill

Another study by the American Marketing Association and Fleishman Hillard International Communications shows that 63% of the people surveyed believe that the new administration's policies will further accelerate the adoption of sustainability programs.
If you are looking for answers to help you grow your firm even during tough economic times, you'll want to attend the Green Design Summit - a ground-breaking virtual education program with 11 architecture and design industry experts, NY Times best-selling authors and environmental leaders including:
Penny Bonda, LEED AP & "the Mother of Green Interiors"

"not so big remodeling" (and how to build a sustainable practice)

This is just a small sampling of the outstanding speakers you will hear during this two day virtual event on June 29 & 30, 2009. No travel is required - you'll be able to listen from the comfort of your home or office by webcast or telephone. And, if you can't listen to all of the calls, you'll receive downloadable MP3s and transcripts of each session. If you have employees, you can listen for the price of one ticket. One ticket per firm, please.
