Beyond2020 is a brainchild of Peter Korchnak and Renee Spears, both sustainable business owners in Portland, Oregon, who wanted something different from the city’s multitude of sustainability-related networking and conference events

1) to learn from and interact with other sustainable business people,

2) to build a stronger sustainability community out of the many sector- or initiative-specific ones,

3) to bridge conversation and action by discussing what sustainable businesses can do and then do it, and

4) to enjoy themselves while at it.

  4. I would definitely be there…if we weren’t teaching a class that night from 6 till 7:30! This is an exciting idea, though, and one that I’d be pleased to participate in next time. With a little more notice, I’ll even host a session. Lookin’ forward to it.
