March-2008

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Paul Hawken and Ray Anderson to Headline the 2008 Sustainable Operations Summit

New York, NY-- CraigMichaels, Inc. is pleased to announce the lineup for the 2008 Sustainable Operations Summit. The third annual summit will be held from May 18-20th at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Resort in Monterey, CA. The invitation-only executive summit brings together leaders from the nation's largest corporations, cities and states, universities and school districts to promote initiatives that benefit both the environment and the bottom line.

Continuing with a tradition that brought former Vice President Al Gore to the 2007 summit, the 2008 lineup once again draws from the most influential and innovative minds in the world of sustainability. This year, the Sustainable Operations Summit welcomes famed environmentalists: Ray Anderson, Paul Hawken, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Austin Mayor Will Wynn as its headliners.

In addition to the keynote speakers, the summit will also include over two dozen panel speakers representing some of the nation's most notable environmental stewards, such as: Wal-Mart, Citigroup, Starbucks, the City of New York, Los Angeles Unified School District and Arizona State University to name but a few.

"Given the enormous success of the 2007 summit, we were challenged to deliver an equally powerful lineup once again," says Michael P. Owens, producer of the summit. "There seems to be a new "green" conference launching each month, but what makes our summit unique is that we do not permit promotional or greenwashed presentations, therefore we only attract those who are serious about finding solutions to address climate change."

CraigMichaels is also pleased to confirm that the follow-up to the inaugural Canadian Sustainable Operations Summit, held last year with Dr. David Suzuki, will take place November 2-4, 2008 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver, BC.
