Call for Presentations

2010 Lean and Green Summit 

The 2010 Lean and Green Summit agenda committee has sent out a Call for Presentations beginning immediately.

What is the Lean and Green Summit? 

With so many “green conferences” in the marketplace, why should you consider attending the Lean and Green Summit?   The Lean and Green National Summit will uniquely bring together the passions and knowledge of two committed groups:

• Advocates of operational excellence who see the implications lean principles have in sustainability, and

• Environmental advocates wanting to move industry toward sustainability and want to learn how lean operations can contribute to that goal.

Who should consider presenting?  

Lean and Green philosophies and processes are important across a wide spectrum of industries.   The Lean and Green Summit will highlight companies operating in the all.   If your company has some experiences with instituting lean and green processes, and you are in senior management, then you should consider presenting at this Summit. 

What Types of presentations are being sought?  

Presentations will take the form of case studies.   The case study approach will allow attendees to not only learn from your real-life experiences, but will allow for attendees to enter into a discussion following the presentation, thus expanding the information flow and idea generation in the group.

The Lean and Green Summit seeks presentation proposals in the following areas:

  (1)   Governance and Management

  (2)   Operations and Facilities

  (3)   Design and Process Innovation

  (4)   Human Resources and Corporate Culture

  (5)   Marketing and Communications

  (6)   Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement

Presentations should run about 30 minutes in length, allowing for interactive discussions and Q&A afterword. The venue can handle multiple presentation formats, and content and format can be discussed with Summit coordinators.
