Forum Day Three: Keeping it Green and Awards

What a great time everyone had yesterday! I hope you enjoyed my recap video.  If you haven't seen it, check it out here.  And Meagan did a great job speaking. If you didn’t have a chance to catch her while you were here, or if you want to see some of what Meagan has to offer, check out her website.  You can also read a recap of my tweets about the session.

Today we have more great workshops and networking sessions, as well as kicking the day off with thinking green:
