Yes, business really is getting serious about the environment, and it’s reflected in the number of guest speakers corporations and associations requesting keynote speakers specializing in environmental presentations. Here are a few of the most popular environmental keynote speakers on the circuit for the corporate audience:

High-profile Jeremy Rifkin’s keynote, “The Global Environmental Crisis: The Path to Sustainable Development” provides a big-picture analysis of the major ecological challenges of the 21st century and the economic and political initiatives that will need to be put in place to address them.
And finally, we’re pleased to announce a new presentation from university professor and exclusive Convention Connection speaker Dr. Lowell Catlett: “The Greening of America”. From “green” roofs to “green” cars, America is undergoing a transformation unlike any in history. Some call the movement “green” others “sustainable” but it clearly is impacting every industry from energy to food. Dr. Catlett explores the drivers of this change, and how businesses and organizations can prepare for and profit from this revolution. Catlett has a unique perspective on the issue, as exciting futurist with an agricultural research background. His knowledge of technologies and their implications on the way we will live and work is addressed in his varied and upbeat presentations. As a professor of agricultural economics and agricultural business, he’s internationally known as an expert in commodities futures markets and is in demand as a speaker and consultant on predicting and planning for near- and long-term futures. He is a consultant to the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, the Interior, Defense and Labor, and has consulted with many Fortune 500 companies.
