Lean and Green Summit

The 2nd Annual Lean and Green Summit is headed to historic Savannah, GA June 8-9, 2009!

Who should attend?
The Lean and Green Summit is designed as an executive level event. Senior leadership and their entire planning teams should come prepared to address the growing demand for sustainable businesses.

Why "Lean" AND "Green"?
There are two groups in industry actively seeking to reduce waste. Lean manufacturing enthusiasts have taken the Toyota Production System's approach to waste reduction and for decades have been successfully doing so in operations. And green enthusiasts have long sought ways to reduce waste and its impact on the environment.

This unique conference has been developed to tap into the collective knowledge of these two groups. At the base level, such a merger would give lean professionals new areas to focus waste reduction efforts and provide green professionals a new toolset for their efforts. At a higher and more important level, these two group can begin to take a serious look at what it means to be truly sustainable. Even the best examples in industry are far from sustainable, so this is a leading-edge movement that is just now defining itself and the approach it will take toward issues of sustainability.

From Compliance to Innovation...
With so many "green conferences" in the marketplace, why the Lean and Green Summit? This Summit will uniquely bring together the passions of two committed groups...

-advocates of operational excellence who see the implications lean principles have in sustainability

-environmental advocates wanting to move industry toward sustainability

Far from a traditional conference, the Lean and Green Summit will be highly participatory, before, during, and after. The Summit is not as much about educating as it is about problem solving. Think solutions, not theory. Think action, not talk.
