So far…
Yesterday featured excellent keynotes from Van Jones, founder of Green For All, Doug Davis, Vice President of the Intel Architecture Group and William McDonough, principal of William McDonough + Partners/MBDC. Topics were diverse, covering design, systems principles, water usage, and beyond.
This morning Panama Bartholomy of the California Energy Commission, Al Zollar of IBM and Chris Waugh of IDEO were the featured keynotes, and subjects in the panels have ranged from intelligent transportation and the future of community to local food systems and smart buildings.
