Two things about green businesses: it’s global and it’s here to stay. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. This is not just because going green is the right thing to do but, because it’s smart business. As green goes mainstream and spreads around the globe, mainstream businesses everywhere are devoting more attention to sustainability. Conferences like MiaGreen 2010 being held in Miami February 25-26 help businesses to join this trend and create a better world.

As a business hub, the “Gateway of the Americas”, and the site of the MiaGreen 2010 Expo, Miami is also a growing center of green business opportunities to make money and make difference across the Americas. Green business is not restricted to one place on the map or to one industry; great green opportunities can be found everywhere, particularly in places like Miami where cultures, ideas, and businesses connect. Miami is the “Gateway of the Americas” because of its rich heritage, location, and business ties with Latin America. As such it is also positioned to be the gateway to the greening of the Americas with events like MiaGreen.

MiaGreen has a great lineup of speakers addressing green business benefits for both the environment and the bottom line, including Eric Corey Freed, Principal of organicARCHITECT & author of Green Building & Remodeling for Dummies on “The Myth of Sisyphus: A Roadmap to Greening Our Buildings”, and Dawn Dzurilla, President and Founder of Gaia Human Capital Consultants (NY) on “Transitioning to a Green Economy Career”. There will be over 40 credited courses and educational sessions in all with important speakers addressing the hot topics businesses everywhere face:

• Designing & Building Greener Americas
• How To Be Green and Be Profitable
• Innovative Green Products & Technologies from Around the World
• Green Policies, Certifications & Incentives
• It’s All About Energy
• Water, Air & the Environment
• Managing Waste & Recycling Innovations

The MiaGreen exhibit hall will feature thousands of green products and services, with exhibiting companies like US and international manufacturers, suppliers, and providers of eco-friendly products and services in categories like:

• Building & Construction
• Energy
• Recycling & Waste Management
• Transportation
• Water, Air & Land
• Family Habitat
• Green Products & Services
• Green Consulting & Regulations
• Trade Consulting & Services
• Finance

Those attending come from a broad range of backgrounds from business and government, and are not limited to those who have been greening their business their whole careers. Few have. As the move toward sustainability keeps moving forward, green business will be the default way of doing things in every industry. Those attending the meeting will be at the forefront of the long-term trend toward sustainable business with huge growth ahead still for many years.

Some things about doing business don’t really change, and that includes the value of meeting people, shaking hands, and doing business face to face. Connections like that are the ones that go places, making meetings like this worth the trip. Not to mention that the weather in Miami is hard to beat in February.

If you’re an exhibitor, a business seeking a new direction, or just plain curious, check out the MiaGreen show if you can and see if you can be a part of the shift toward a better and a greener future.
