The Future of Waste, Farming and More on Display at Net Impact

By Marc Gunther

November 03, 2010
My favorite conference is Net Impact’s annual gathering, mostly because of the crowd — this weekend, about 2,500 people, most of them MBA students, undergrads and young professionals, gathered at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business in Ann Arbor. These are the smart, passionate and committed business leaders of tomorrow. I’m proud to be on the board of Net Impact, a nonprofit that helps its members harness the power of business for the greater good.

So much programming is crammed into the two-day event that it can’t be captured in a single blog post or experienced by anyone, because dozens of sessions on different topics unfold simultaneously.
