Highlights of the 5th annual Areday 2008 Event

 

2008 Testimonial

"AREDAY 2008 in Aspen was an event like no other. If a Clean Energy/Green Economy conference had 3-4 keynotes from among the featured presenters at AREDAY, it would have stood out on the national stage. The fact that AREDAY had 40+ A-List speakers made this remarkable forum a productive and meaningful highlight of my 7 years in 'the Green Movement' towards America's sustainable future. Numerous collaborations are now underway as a result of the participation of my team in AREDAY."
