the early days of GLOBE. Now

you see the trade show being

characterized by entrepreneurs,

new business opportunities, a

whole different cast of

characters… I think this path is

about setting up commercial

enterprises that are going to

create the changes that society

needs, and new business

models are going to be created

from that.”

“This is the second GLOBE I’ve been

to, and I’m always struck by the

eclectic mix that attends the

conference. Clearly it’s becoming

more international… and it’s a mix of

people who are working specifically

on environmental issues, as well as

people from companies that are

producing some of those

environmental impacts. Bringing

these people together is important.”

“GLOBE has been a great show for

us to forge new connections and

keep current connections. It offers

exposure to high-profile clientele,

potential clients, and partners.

Compared to other trade shows

where you are mainly looking at the

end customer, here you start making

connections at the level of the

specifiers, multipliers. This show is

for us not a single-client show but a

multiplier show.”
