Driving Innovation in the Marketplace in Response to our Social, Economic and Environmental Condition.
Global issues of our day including rapid population growth, climate change, resource depletion and more are projected to have a dramatic impact on society.

Leadership Collaboration for a Low-Carbon Economy: Working Together for Economic & Environmental Success.
Our Planet is showing visible signs of stress and we are realizing for the first time in our history that the resources required to develop new products and materials are reaching their limits. Leaders are beginning to rethink their development strategies as they strive to adapt to change; they are also recognizing the fact that no single group will have all the answers to ensure success. Leaders are breaking down competitive silos and are working together to educate professionals, engage public interest and advance corporate objectives. Collaboration in the marketplace is an effective strategy that has been showing positive results for many years now. Andrew Bowerbank will discuss low-carbon economic strategies under development in the marketplace and present projects that have successfully demonstrated how working together can transform an industry.
"Andrew Bowerbank is a provocative, energetic and highly effective speaker. He regularly draws from his broad and diverse background to persuasively convey his message often aided by stunning graphic presentations." Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation
"I have had the pleasure of seeing Andrew Bowerbank speak on a number of occasions. In addition to his relaxed and natural demeanor on stage, Andrew brings a unique perspective on the global sustainability movement through the language of buildings - a language, he claims, that is increasingly universal. Through an easy to follow yet sophisticated narrative, Andrew takes his audiences through the causes of climate change, the unmistakable indicators of its existence and then proffers green building as a key part of the global solution. His multimedia presentation is a treat to watch and leaves audiences with a sense of urgency in the climate crisis, and a sense of inspiration that, not only do we have the solutions, but that we are a part of them." The Innovolve Group Inc., Toronto, Canada
"Visionary, articulate and compelling. Andrew paints a tremendous picture of the challenges and opportunities in the green building movement and challenges all to mobilize towards positive change and action." Royal Bank of Canada
"I find Andrew to be that rare sort of orator who simply exudes confidence, knowledge, and passion. His knowledge of green building is now global in scope and his breadth and dept of experience is amongst the best in the industry." CEO, Greenovations
