Some friends of mine are putting on a great event in San Jose, CA April 1 with a panel of speakers discussing innovations in sustainability. The subject-matter looks to focus on energy, so it’s not exclusivly green building. Nonetheless, energy and building are inextricably linked (especially with the funding of smart grid and distributed power technologies). It will be a fun event filled with new ideas and lots of networking.
The title of the event is “The Clean Tech Gold Rush: Where to place your bets in your Investments and in your Career.” The event will be held at Club Auto Sport in San Jose (gorgeous venue). The organizers have already confirmed Andrew Friendly from Advanced Technology Ventures (his portfolio companies are Solar Junction, AltaRock Energy, Rive Technology, Wakonda Technologies), Kelsey Lynn from Firelake Capital Management, Bob Garzee (Founder and CEO of ETDC), and Eric Wesoff from Green Tech Media (Chief Analyst).
The event is open to the public, and ”early bird” $15 tickets are available until February 21. If you’re interested in learning more about the speakers and the event, click on this link: http://cleantechgoldrush.eventbrite.com/
