Join me at Green Living Show cleantech panel this Friday

Another reminder that this Friday marks the start of the three-day Green Living Show in Toronto. Friday morning begins with some opening comments from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and Toronto mayor David Miller. I’ll then be moderating a panel that will kick off at around 10 a.m. and will explore what businesses can do to benefit from cleantech and green energy. About 30 or so CEOs from Canada’s cleantech sector will be in the audience as well.

Panelists will include:

1) Nick Parker, co-founder and executive chairman and overall excellent guy of the Cleantech Group.

2) Dr. Hermann Scheer, author, German legislator and president of EUROSOLAR.

3) David O’Brien, president and CEO of Toronto Hydro Corp.

4) Lana Paton from PriceWaterhouseCoopers will also be on the panel to talk about the tax benefits/implications for businesses that purchase/deploy green technologies.

Ontario Energy and Infrastructure Minister George Smitherman has also recently been added, as has Mike Pedersen, group head of corporate operations at TD Bank Financial Group, and Pat Horgan, vice-president of manufacturing, development and operations at IBM Canada.

The morning session will be followed by a keynote speech from Joel Makower, executive editor of GreenBiz.com, co-founder of Clean Edge Inc., author of blog Two Steps Forward, and author of the new business book Strategies for the Green Economy.
