Green Design Summit



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



Do you need to be LEED certified to get this business and promote
green products and services? No, but it helps.

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"
The New LEED Version 3 -What You Need to Know

Sarah Susanka, FAIA, certified Interior Designer & Author
"not so big remodeling" (and how to build a sustainable 
practice)

Libby Langon, HGTV Star of Small Spaces, Big Style and author.
How to Work With Small Space Clients (plus she'll share 
some of her favorite tips that her clients love)

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.



If your colleagues are busy with eco-friendly projects, you don't want to miss hearing
