The Knoxville-area green economy is the second-fastest-growing in the U.S. How can we contribute to its growth and continue to make the Knoxville area a sustainable area for good jobs? What are the barriers to growth in the area and how can we overcome them? Join experts in industry, labor, environmental groups, UT researchers, government ofcials, and others in addressing these important issues for the 2013 Forum on Growing Knoxvilles Green Economy. The forum will begin with a panel of Knoxville experts, and participants will have the opportunity to meet others and engage in dialogue during several breakout sessions. Youll meet experts not only in your industry sector, but also in the larger green economy, voice your expertise to help identify bridges and barriers to growing your sector, and engage in sustaining and growing the larger Knoxville green economy.
