The First Annual Green Matters Conference Comes To New Orleans

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu will deliver opening remarks at tomorrow’s Inaugural “GREEN MATTERS Conference: Green Cities, Business and Beyond” at the Westin New Orleans Canal Place Hotel, October 13-15, 2010. Executives from IBM, DuPont, and Johnson Controls, Inc., among others, will share corporate sustainability strategies that are changing the way America does business.

Award-winning green mayors will discuss ways to create green jobs and healthy, more livable cities. Participants will learn about best practices from national experts in green business, green building, design and law. According to Michael Hecht, President and CEO of Greater New Orleans, Inc., the premiere regional economic development agency, “Industry, economic development, design and building professionals need broadly accepted standards and clear public policy on sustainability matters. The urgent need for the creation of green jobs and a regulatory infrastructure is particularly relevant in New Orleans, the host city of the GREEN MATTERS Conference.”

Supporting sponsors of the conference include the Tulane School of Architecture and Global Green.
