Sustainable Brands '10 Power of ANDSustainable Life Media is kicking off Sustainable Brands 2010 in Monterey, CA on June 7-10, 2010 with the “#powerofAND” online campaign, a search for stories that combine two ideas to create a powerful concept with AND.

Three winners will get a virtual event pass to the leading sustainability conference of the year, a prize valued at $595. The pass is a full-access streaming live video of opening night and all of the plenary sessions. Virtual attendees can ask questions to the speakers, via the virtual chat link. After the conference winners will have access to all session materials, and will also be included in the private, online community of Sustainable Brands alumni.

“At SB 10, we are looking to break the tendency to say ‘but.’ We want to inspire a community of business leaders who look for solutions through a systemic approach,” said KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, CEO of Sustainable Life Media. “I see the ‘Power of AND’ as a bridge between two dissimilar parts converging into one strong whole. For example, sustainable design is both function and aesthetic with the two together it creates something capable of driving change.”

Cohn & Wolfe, a global communications agency, will select one inspiring and original example per week and give the author a free virtual conference pass. Winners who want to attend the conference in Monterey have the option of trading in the virtual pass for a significant discount on full conference registration. Winners each week will be announced on all our social media channels the following Monday
