Are you dying to be in Ann Arbor, Michigan next week to meet some of the world’s most estimable sustainable business leaders, but are faced with an unconvinced boss, or worse, a managerial accounting final?
Well, fear not. The Inspired Economist will be at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan October 28-30 to offer analysis and with any luck, real time coverage of the 2010 conference, “Vision for a Sustainable Decade.”
The kinds folks at Net Impact HQ have afforded yours truly a media pass, so I look forward to paying close attention to the following sessions and a few more:
