FINAL PROGRAM
International Symposium on Sustainable Systems & Technology
BOSTON MA MAY 16-18, 2012
The organizing committee for the ISSST conference welcomes you to this year’s exciting conference. The International Symposium for Sustainable Systems and Technology has a well-founded reputation for bringing together thought leaders in the sustainability of complex systems. This year’s conference is no exception with keynotes from MIT’s Timothy G. Gutowski who looks at sustainability from the broad, fundamental perspective of thermodynamics and the Green Alliance’s Sarah Brown who is at the forefront of a real grassroots sustainability effort. Other speakers include key industrial leaders in sustainability metrics, sustainability pioneers in the academic world, and innovators in government and the non-profit world.
We invite you to participate with us in this exploration of sustainability. We welcome questions and dialog during the formal sessions. We invite you to continue this discussion at our poster session on Wednesday evening where you will have an opportunity to discuss the latest study results with student and professional poster presenters and network with conference attendees. Thursday night offers an opportunity to explore Boston and the student volunteers at the reception desk will have a few suggestions for small and large groups.
The organizers are interested in your views of the conference and how we can make our complex systems more sustainable. Please share your opinions with the organizing committee or by filling out a conference survey form on the final day (or on-line). We are always looking for new members with new ideas to help organize the conference so please consider volunteering your time and effort to make the 2013 conference even more successful.
We hope you find this event professionally and personally useful. It represents a unique opportunity to bring together multiple disciplines and stakeholders to communicate progress and challenges to improve the sustainability of our technology-driven world.
Sincerely,
