Design + Sustainability + Profitability

We've all known for a while now that it pays to be green. But beyond the deployment of green values in publicity and marketing, what are the hard and real costs, choices and trade-offs design companies face when they integrate sustainability thinking into their core business strategy? Our guest speakers, all active and influential within their respective creative disciplines, have innovated their products and processes so that today's profits don't compromise the needs - and profits - of tomorrow.

This town hall is hosted by NYDesigns and will take place at 45-50 30th Street, Long Island City. Please RSVP, space is limited.
