Hi folks,
The discussions at this event in Rochester, NY will touch on Governance, Community, and other topics of interest to Sustain community members. Forty speakers and panelists from Academia, Government, Industry, and Philanthropy will also be participating in working breakout groups to learn about best practices and shared pain points across the sectors, with a report out on the third day.
As you’ll see at the link below, some of the speakers will be familiar to the Sustain community while others will be new. Looking forward to having some of you join us as well.
