Taking Care of Business
That's a question I've been getting regularly from corporate environmental professionals for years, as they look ahead to the growing calendar of events -- and their shrinking travel budgets -- to discern which events are, for lack of a better term, "worth it."
And while I hate to respond with the decidedly ambiguous phrase "It depends," the truth is -- well, it depends. What is your interest -- environmental issues or the larger world of sustainability and corporate responsibility? What is your level of knowledge -- are you just starting out or a veteran in the field? How deep do you want to go -- are you more interested in scoping broad trends or a deep dive into specific topics? Who do you want to meet -- potential customers, business partners, employers, mentors or colleagues?
I think you get my drift: There's no one-size-fits-all answer. As it turns out: It depends.
