energy efficiency events calendar

2013 is off to a fast start for anyone with a New Years Resolution to get out of their office and network more. How about one a week for the next three weeks? I’m excited for a great crop of energy efficiency and clean technology events this month. Hope to see some of you there!

Can Cleantech be Sexy? Cleantech + Product Design Panel
I hope the answer is yes! Regardless, the list of panelists is reason to go alone. A mix of venture capitalists and CEOs should create interesting discussion.

Getting Corporate Real Estate Sustainability Done
Full disclosure–I’m speaking on this panel–but my presence is outweighed by two co-presenters, Elizabeth Turnbull from adidas, and Jackie Henke, who is the Vice President and Real Estate Green Strategy Officer for TD Bank.

I went to my first Boston Bloggers event last night. I have to admit I was a little nervous, but ended up having a great drink with some fascinating local bloggers.
