"SRI+20": Canadian Responsible Investment Conference, Montreal, June 18-20

The SIO's annual national conference is at the Marriott Château Champlain in beautiful Montreal this year!

Websites: www.sioconference.com / www.congresair.com

SRI+20 is your opportunity to learn about the latest SRI developments and opportunities, to roll up your sleeves and get high-quality technical education, and to examine the future of SRI over three days in Montreal.

We will be looking at the future of SRI, examining the opportunities that have brought us to where we are, and the possibilities ahead. This year’s theme, SRI+20, will set the stage for discussion on future opportunities and challenges. Building on the momentum leading up to the Earth Summit Rio+20 Conference we will feature a live presentation by videoconference from the Rio conference site.

We have full conference packages, as well as special discounts for students and SIO member advisors. The conference is being organized by the Social Investment Organization, in partnership this year with the Finance and Sustainability Initiative, organizers of the intensive sessions. We thank all of our sponsors of the 2012 conference.
