West Coast Green Launches Accelerator

October 2, 2010

West Coast Green, the company that produces the world’s leading interactive conference and exposition on green innovation, announced today that it is launching West Coast Green Accelerator, its new services arm designed to accelerate the adoption of transformative, market-based sustainability solutions. Specific services will include:

  • Facilitating partnerships and activating networks of potential customers;
  • Conceiving and executing community-based marketing and event programs;
  • Designing educational programs and providing training and facilitation; and
  • Crafting implementation plans that connect vision to action.

“Over the past five years, we’ve developed the experience, network, and skills to deliver green innovation not only to our growing audience, but to a select stable of corporate, nonprofit, and government clients,” said Christi Graham, Founder and CEO of West Coast Green.

West Coast Green Accelerator’s launch establishes a year-round presence for West Coast Green, which has been bringing people together around powerful ideas for years-in 2009, more than 9,000 industry professionals attended its annual conference on green building, smart grids, and smart cities. West Coast Green Accelerator’s services complement the annual conference and expo by allowing organizations to bring the power of industry-leading minds and conversations to their organizations and efforts as an integrated part of their overall strategic initiatives.

West Coast Green has partnered with Code Green Agency, headed by former Hewlett-Packard Director of Sustainability Bonnie Nixon and former Craigslist Foundation Executive Director Darian Rodriguez Heyman, and a variety of other leading providers to offer clients world-class service and results.

Andy Mannle, Education Director for West Coast Green, added, “We see education as a vehicle for change, and it’s not just about your ideas. It’s about leveraging the right network and a way to make it real. That’s what we do for clients.”
