The 2011 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference will take place February 8-10, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. This Conference is the nation’s leading forum for sharing ideas and strategies for building a green economy that creates good jobs, reduces global warming and other environmental problems, and secures America’s economic and environmental future.

Thanks to everyone who submitted proposals for the 2011 Conference workshops and panels. Stay tuned for the list of the 2011 Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference workshops!

The 2011 Conference will focus on putting into practice the ideas and strategies for a new green economy ─ and creating good green jobs ─ around the country. We will highlight successful state and local initiatives, emerging and growing green sectors, efforts to create a Green Infrastructure Model through smart transportation and urban development, successful work development programs, model partnerships between government, the private sector and local interests ─ all while demonstrating the breadth of the coalition working to build a green economy and to create the good jobs that come along with it.

The 2011 Conference will build upon the success of the 2010 event that brought together nearly 3,500 labor, environmental, non-profit and business advocates to turn ideas into action to build a new, green economy. The 2010 Conference featured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis, as well as Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell, and Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, Jr.
