PRWeek has recently hosted two Target Green conferences. The first, held in San Francisco in May 2007, was titled Making Sustainability Work and dealt with how corporations are making meaningful changes that benefit the company, and the planet, and how PR and marketing play a crucial role. The second, held in Washington in October 2007, was titled Collaborating for Change and dealt with how various stakeholders are driving a holistic approach to a green future.

The public is increasingly interested in eco-sustainable issues and products, and everyone from corporations to policy makers to the 2008 presidential candidates is paying attention. This one-day conference features speakers from corporations, government agencies, NGOs, and the media, discussing how various stakeholders are driving a holistic approach to a green future.
