Comments from Green Wave 2019

Without a doubt the most useful conference I have ever been to. To be sure, the presentations were great, but what stands out for me is the relationships that we formed there. They will play a major role in my life going forward. If invited, go.

An amazing experience with incredibly high quality material, discussions, and speakers. World class experts, authors, and thought leaders in the field of sustainability. Great networking and relationship building. Was happy and honored to participate
