The GLOBE Series of conferences and trade fairs is North America's largest and longest-running international gathering of senior representatives from the public, private and NGO sectors involved in the business of sustainability, energy and the environment.

Recognized as the world's most influential and prestigious international environment industry event, GLOBE brings together leaders of business and government to discuss current trends and to showcase innovative technology solutions for the world's environmental problems.

Government decisions makers, corporate executives, and environmental technology innovators engage in high-level dialogues about pressing environmental issues such as corporate sustainability, energy and climate change, finance, and building better cities. We have brought in a host of well-respected individuals to help make the business case for eco-efficiency, including HRH Prince Philippe of Belgium, former Prime Minister Paul Martin, Maurice Strong, Klaus Töepfer, John Prescott, Mark Moody-Stuart, Amory Lovins and Ray Anderson.

GLOBE Series events have been used to preview innovative ideas and major multilateral processes for corporate and industry leaders from around the world in advance of major international gatherings, such as the Rio and Johannesburg World Summits.

Since 1990, the GLOBE Series of Conferences has become the nexus for global networking and thought leadership on the business of the environment.

Biennially, thousands of environmental business leaders, corporate environmental managers and sustainability practitioners come together in Vancouver to explore the mutually inclusive goals of corporate sustainability and business growth.

GLOBE 2012 will offer a bold agenda in response to unprecedented developments in global environmental business policy and practice.
