The all-day Sustainable Enterprise Conference Marin promotes sustainable business practices in the North Bay, provides tools for companies in transition, showcases best practices and best companies, and connects business and community leaders to work on creating more sustainable, resilient organizations and communities. Learn, promote and activate high ROI sustainable business practices. Our Mission: To educate and work with North Bay enterprises and the local community integrating environmental responsibility, sustainable business practices and economic and social equity issues to ensure a high quality life for future generations. VenturePad is the organizing sponsor, and is Marin's premier coworking, meeting space and entrepreneurship center. In order to not only maintain but improve upon our quality of life in Marin based on a triple bottom line of people, planet and profits, we must disrupt ''Business As Usual'' and take a systemic approach to solving our local issues. It is our goal to act as a catalyst to bring business, government, nonprofits and the local community together, find synergies, and work together where we can and where we thought we couldn't, in order to transcend and transform enterprise as we know it, making it a consistent force for good. What We Believe We believe in the power of our local community where for-profits, nonprofits and government join forces to resolve systemic issues together, in order to create a more sustainable and thriving environment, resulting in a higher quality of life for all living things for generations to come. Our Beginning Marin's first sustainable enterprise conference actually has its roots in Sonoma. Now in its 12th year, the Sustainable Enterprise Conference in Sonoma has long been the North Bay's premiere convening of professionals in the fastest growing segment in the economy — green business. This is the first year SEC Sonoma is spreading outside of its Sonoma county territory and into Marin.
