OCTOBER 27-30SAN FRANCISCO

AT THE PALACE HOTEL

ON BEHALF OF ALL MY COLLEAGUES AT GREENBIZ GROUP,

WELCOME TO VERGE SF 2014!

This year, we’ve taken things to a whole new level. Our program reflects

more diversity across our 250 speakers and more practical, scalable,

solutions-focused topics than ever before. In that light, we’re excited to

offer special working sessions to move the needle in the direction of real

action together.

Also, be sure to check out our expanded VERGE Interconnect showcase and

the microgrid that is powering our entire conference on 100% renewables!

As always, we encourage you to attend sessions outside of your area of

focus, talk to people with whom you don’t usually interact and be open to

new opportunities. We look forward to your thoughts and welcome your

feedback.

Sincerely,

VERGE Program Director, Senior Analyst, GreenBiz Group

Elaine Hsieh
