Thanks to our good friends at Ecofactory for putting this together.

Taylor Huff gave us some inside information about the topics covered at Green Cities Florida. Experts in sustainability, land use planning, green building, and clean technology will be on hand to give high-energy presentations, hold round table discussions, and help individual business owners and municipalities find their niche in this growing market.

Green Cities focuses on environmental sustainability, pragmatic training, and insight into environmental business opportunities. Taylor Huff informed us that many speakers have illuminating topics about how to tap into government stimulus money to help fund new green initiatives, and how to increase your company’s profitability.

“A wide array of courses will be there, that can appeal to virtually anyone,” said Huff of the many training tracks available. “Our goal is to power people to be profitable and sustainable.” This event is ideal for companies that are ready to launch on a full scale green initiative, but need to set realistic goals that are geared to increase profitability. Courses on LEED and SMaRT certification will be given, as well as other continued learning opportunities. “This is a great opportunity for people who have been displaced from their jobs or lost a business,” said Huff. Getting aligned with green careers and starting green businesses is a key reason to attend Green Cities Florida.
