Following on from the success of ecosmart 2009, people and property business Gentoo is now working on ecosmart 2010 - an environmental conference for businesses that want to work 'smarter' in relation to the environment.
ecosmart 2010 is cutting through the hype and shallow fashion-led trends for following the green issue and bringing together speakers who share its vision.
Organised by Gentoo, the one day event will be held on May 19 at The Radisson SAS Hotel, Durham. This year, ecosmart will focus on: what being ecosmart really means, why it is more important than ever, what organisations can do and how we can all work together to be ecosmart?
For more information and to buy tickets, Visit: www.areyouecosmart.co.uk, search for ecosmart 2010 on facebook and twitter or contact Laura Farley on Tel: 0191 525 5000.
