BOOK NOW FOR THE GREEN BLUE CONFERENCE 2009

If you’re looking for ways to make your training centre environmentally friendly then a good place to start would be The Green Blue conference 2009, sponsored by The Crown Estate.

Taking place at the Coin Street Centre, London on Wednesday 4 November, the conference, ‘Success and Sustainability for the UK Recreational Marine Sector’ will be looking at ways of using sustainability to drive performance and cut costs.

With a packed agenda and speakers including Sir Keith Mills, Deputy Chair, London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games 2012 and principal Team Origin; Rob Stevens, Chief Executive, British Marine Federation, Rod Carr OBE, Chief Executive, Royal Yachting Association, Tobias Parker, Chief Executive, Sustain and more, topics covered will include – Planning for climate change, How big is your footprint and The sustainability Imperative, amongst others.

The conference is a very ‘hands on’ event, with interactive workshops and real life case studies and is focused towards training centres, commercial businesses and facilities managers. We’ve set an agenda for the conference that not only gives delegates the ‘big picture’ but goes right through to the nitty-gritty of making it work on the ground. We will give practical advice that can be implemented almost immediately that delegates return to the office, which will save money as well as being environmentally efficient.

The conference also provides a great networking opportunity and forum for sharing best practice, with open and honest discussions.  Whatever you do or don’t know, the conference is a great place to get started. 

Booking costs, £25.00 for RYA recognised training centres. Early booking is advised, visit www.thegreenblue.org.uk to download the booking form and agenda. Once completed return to info@thegreenblue.org.uk
