Sustainable Silicon Valley is gearing up for its next big event, the WEST Summit (Water Energy Smart Technology), and you're invited. SSV is offering a special discount of 20% on registration for colleagues and friends—and that includes readers of this blog. WEST will be held at Stanford University in conjunction with the Woods Center for the Environment on Dec. 6, and will feature the launch of the project I've been working on: EcoCloud™, a collaborative, social website enabling decision-makers, vendors, business leaders, and researchers to share knowledge and build alliances in order to create a sustainable industrial ecology in the Bay Area.
Attendees will include key decision makers from across the sustainability ecosystem, including state and local governments, municipal utilities (Santa Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale, etc.), tech firms (IBM, SAP, Google, Intel, etc.), academia (Stanford, SJSU, etc.), civic organizations (Wholly H2O, EDF, etc.), entrepreneurs, and VCs.
The day-long event features workshops, expert panel discussions, a lively exposition, and lunch. The goal of the WEST Summit, in the words of SSV's Executive Director, is "to catalyze a sea change in action towards long-term resiliency in Silicon Valley through the distributed management of our water and energy supply. It will be a pivotal opportunity to build relationships with local business and community leaders already taking action on the important nexus between water and energy usage."
