GoingGreen 2011 is where cutting-edge greentech CEOs meet the top green VCs, corporate partners and members of the press and blogging communities. Green technology entrepreneurs are transforming trillion dollar industries - and the solutions they are delivering not only promise to clean up pollution and restore ecosystems, but also to bring abundance and prosperity to everyone on earth. In fundamental areas, water, energy and land, resource abundance is just around the corner, through the power of technology and free markets. This two day executive event features top CEO presentations and high-level debates on the most promising emerging green technologies and new entrepreneurial opportunities. At GoingGreen 2011, our editors will also honor the GoingGreen 200 Top Private Companies. Fifty top CEOs will also pitch their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in our "CEO Showcase."
