I wanted to let everyone know that I’m delivering a keynote address at the SustainPro Conference in Chicago on October 29/30. It should be a great conference with other speakers, including T. Boone Pickens and Howard Leaener, Barack Obama’s lead environmental policy advisor.

In addition to the keynote, I will be hosting a special invite-only breakfast session on October 30th at 7:30am. I will be joined at the breakfast by special guest speaker Jason Busch, the author of the leading sourcing and procurement blog Spend Matters (www.spendmatters.com). Jason is the Founder and Managing Director of Azul Partners, a boutique advisory firm. A leading authority on sustainable supply chain management, Jason has authored over one thousand columns and whitepapers on technology and economics. His work has appeared in prominent trade and business publications in the US, Europe, and Asia. 

At the breakfast session, Jason and I will discuss best practices for supplier information management and sustainable supply chains. I’ll also talk about the Aravo SIM platform and a few customer success stories.

This session is open to non-conference attendees, and here are all the details:

•    Date:  Thursday, October 30, 2008
