Sustainability for Beginners: Green Vocabulary --Catherine Del Spina, NextLife/ Mountain Valley Recycling--Like it or not, every marketer - including you - will now have to add a POV on things "green" to all the other things on your agenda. Unfortunately, the jargonistas have already thrown so much meaningless, confusing and obfuscating terminology at us, masquerading as “science”, that marketers are throwing up their hands in disgust.
Catherine Del Spina's talk, THE ABC'S OF SUSTAINABILITY will cut through all the BS and give you everything that you need to know. (POV = Point of Value)

GO GREEN: Making Old Seem New in Store Design -- Martin Pegler, Author, Green Retail Design Green is “in” with more architects, store planners, and visual merchandisers turning to green solutions to satisfy both eco-aware retailers and their knowledgeable shoppers. But green retail not only makes environmental sense; it also makes dollars. Knowing no borders, the green movement is sweeping across continents and affecting store design. Martin M. Pegler takes you on a world tour of retail environments. From top designer boutiques to outdoor experiences. From markets and food halls to dining spaces. From showrooms to exhibits and store windows. Green Retail Design showcases LEED-certified stores, as well as those that are reusing, repurposing, reclaiming and recycling in other ways. Take a first look at the future of store design. | Lakeside Center behind booth L11350

One Size Doesn't Fit All: Understand the Green Consumer and Create Marketing That Works -- Suzanne Shelton, Shelton Group Unfortunately, many marketing directors and product managers seem to believe there's "one green market," essentially one giant pool of green people who will flock to any product advertising itself as green. Not so. Shelton Group's quarterly, national consumer insight studies clearly show that the green consumer varies by product category, where green falls in the product decision making continuum varies by product category, and how much extra they'll pay varies by category as well. Suzanne Shelton will share her firm's latest insights and help you understand who to target, what to say to them and what to charge them.
Shelton Group is an advertising agency entirely focused on motivating mainstream consumers to make sustainable choices. To that end, the firm performs quarterly studies to track shifting consumer opinion on this issue: Eco Pulse, Energy Pulse, Green Living Pulse and Utility Pulse.

Breaking Through the Screen Door: The Near Future of Indoor/Outdoor Product Innovation Rob Tannen and Mathieu Turpault, Besslergroup Product Development--Imagine busting through the kitchen screen door with housewares products that truly address the indoor/outdoor lifestyle that more and more people desire.
Mathieu Turpault and Rob Tannen of Bresslergroup, a product design and development firm, offer us a glimpse of the near future of indoor/outdoor living. The desire to grow our own veggies, entertain at home, enjoy staycations, and make greener choices -- combined with ubiquitous mobile device technology -- points to new design thinking around the connectivity of indoor and outdoor living.
Rob and Mathieu will define and explore this opportunity. For example, imagine a refrigerator with a food drawer designed to move from indoor to outdoor, taking garden-picked veggies -- to kitchen refrigerator -- to outdoor entertainment grill -- to dishwasher. Think about the convenience of a solar - powered garden shed for recharging various gardening and grilling tools. Examples of how mobile technology can enhance the kitchen/patio connection will also be included.
This presentation offers plenty of visuals and a mind-expanding glimpse of housewares that will link the home and backyard for greater enjoyment.
