SBN offers access to educational programming on a variety of topics and issues that have relevance to the local living economy.
SBN’s Business Education programs include green business seminars and workshops, expert panels, peer-to-peer mentoring and opportunities to connect with other leaders in the local business community, Along with these monthly events, SBN also hosts the Social Venture Institute, an annual two-day conference that teaches entrepreneurs how to run a successful business that has a positive social and environmental impact.
Sustainability is at the core of not only our programming but also in how we plan our events.”. SBN uses local catering whenever possible and prints most event materials on recycled, FSC certified paper. Our venues are at central locations that are usually close to public transportation, have on-site recycling and, whenever possible, composting for our food waste. We pride ourselves on hosting events that minimize our carbon footprint.
