GLOBE 2012, http://2012.globeseries.com/ , will be the 12th event in one of the world’s largest and longest-running series dedicated to the business of the environment. Every two years, the world gathers in Vancouver for three days of thought-leading sessions presented by world-renowned sustainability experts, the opportunity to see leading-edge environmental innovations, and participate in unparalleled global networking opportunities.
Business leaders, corporate executives and government policymakers from around the world will meet in Vancouver, March 14-16, 2012 to explore corporate sustainability, clean energy, climate change, emissions management, sustainable finance, and greener cities.
Globe has a student sponsorship program which offers an opportunity for a number of students who are studying full time in the area of Business Management/Sustainability/Environmental Management to attend the Globe Conference and Trade Fair. We believe that GLOBE 2012 is a valuable opportunity for students to interact with Business leaders and government policymakers from around the world.
Full time students only are able to avail of this offer and are asked to send a short (one page) letter as to why they would like to attend, where their area of interest lies, what they would like to gain out of the experience and what program they are in at university. Students can submit their letters by email to Emma Kealy emma.kealy@globe.ca.
