Event - Sustainable Brands Conference (Rio)

The Sustainable Brands Conference is ground zero for sustainability, brand and innovation professionals who come together from around the world to be inspired, engaged and equipped to succeed by building the better brands of tomorrow. Now it is coming to Rio de Janeiro on May 8-9, 2013 at Hotel Windsor Atlântica, on Copacabana Beach.

Sustainable Brands was founded on the belief that unleashing the best of our human ingenuity and innovation can change the shape of business, and with it, the world. Our desire is to spark new ideas by connecting people from different perspectives and disciplines with each other in an optimistic, collaborative environment to create a shared vision of what's possible, as well as to enable immediate action by presenting tangible examples of how current leaders are profiting through sustainable innovation.
