This is Part 2 of 2 based on my recent SAS Talk with Kim podcast with Emie Michaud Weinstock of Reveled Up, a branding and event marketing boutique. A good chunk of our discussion focused on the importance of the speakers and/or facilitators, which is what dive into here. In Part 1 we go through the content and design of the events. And we've compiled a Top 10 Best Practices list.

In a recent blog post we talked about Sustainable ROI or "SROI" (you can also listen to our SAS Talk podcast on the topic with guest Stephane Larocque of Impact Infrastructure) and the importance of integrating the “triple bottom line” of people, planet and profits into traditional cost-benefit analyses when making infrastructure decisions.

Introducing our new podcast focused on sustainability at the local level: SAS Talk with Kim Lundgren
I like to talk, and I have a lot to say. And that’s particularly true when it comes to sustainability and climate issues and how local governments are leading the way with solutions. That niche has been my passion and career for nearly two decades. During that time I’ve spoken to and been inspired by so many people who are fighting the good fight at (or in support of) the local government level -- with amazing results, overcoming significant challenges, employing innovative approaches, and willing and eager to learn from and help others. Ultimately, I wanted to share those conversations in an accessible way.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) just wrapped its annual conference -- recently rebranded as PWX (Public Works Expo) -- with all the cool and technologically advanced components you would see at a tech conference. As someone who has frequented Dreamforce (Salesforce.com’s annual conference), which is the ultimate in conference innovation, I was certainly impressed with the steps that APWA has taken to advance this conference. What I found even more impressive, however, were the very visible signs of how this conference was clearly also the most sustainable one that APWA has hosted.
