Enterprise Florida, Green Cities promote clean tech
Posted on 10 June 2009 by k. a. gardner
“Green Cities™ Florida was held May 20-21, 2009 at the Orange County Convention Center South Concourse Building, and offered a highly interactive, outcome-based portfolio of workshops presented with practical steps and specific plans for participating in the growing $400 billion green economy.

“State and national experts in green government, business, and technology provided practical tools, case studies, and resources. Speakers’ shared vital information that is driving today’s new green economy and moving Florida towards a sustainable future.”
John Adams, president and CEO of Enterprise Florida, led a break-out discussion group exploring the challenges and opportunities in building Florida’s clean energy industry - not only in renewables, but supporting technologies [energy- efficient building services and products; manufacturing and distribution]. The conference was well-attended and Adams noted a keen interest in all cross-sections of clean business opportunities.
Renewable energy technologies include biomass, biofuels, geothermal, solar, wind; and emerging ocean research and development.

Good idea. So is population control.
I’m not sure I’m following your correlation, w. Are you sure you’re in the right thread?
I can’t help but always get this pessimistic feeling whenever I read things like this that they will not take care of all the problems created by having too many people on the planet, and that having fewer would be better. Florida is certainly suffering from too much growth.
I tried to click on the conference link for the Green Cities of FL in Orlando on May 19 – 21 and nothing happens and then I tried to go to http://www.greencitiesflorida.org and that website does not come up.
Help, what is going on with your site, do you update it?
Hi Gail,
The Conference was held in 2009, I don’t believe there is one in Orlando this year. The 2009 series of conferences were organized under the name “Green Cities” by Seven Star, Inc. – a “Green Events” promoter. You can follow their link for more information.
The above Green Cities link is working, but here is the link to its home page.
Thanks,
Karen Gardner
