Event Details

Chicago has more LEED buildings than any other city in the world, but that
doesn't make it a "green city."

At this special NeoCon Green Drinks, we will explore with renowned urban planner
Doug Farr and development guru James Loewenberg the necessity of looking
beyond green buildings to the larger systems in which they exist should we desire
to create more sustainable and livable cities, as well as the barriers and
opportunities for businesses that come with it. This journey into the vibrant
intersection of design, business and the environments in which we live is not to be
missed.

Presented by the Foresight Sustainable Business Alliance, in partnership with the
U.S. Green Building Council - Illinois Chapter, Green Drinks-Business Edition is the
premier place to connect with Chicago's forward-looking enterprises.

Bring clients, connect with colleagues, and develop opportunities while enjoying
über sandwiches and organic desserts from Hannah's Bretzel and responsibly crafted drinks from Koval, The Naked Grape, and Stone Brewing Co. in the newly
redesigned (but always sustainability-focused) Haworth Showroom.
