The Green Summit is expected to draw 10,000 attendees to its trade show and Advancing Sustainability Conference at the Phoenix Convention Center Sep. 5 to 6 in Arizona.

Yulex CEO Jeffrey Martin will present “Using Sustainability as a Guide for Business Growth,” sharing his experience taking Yulex Corporation and its sustainable model from concept to commercial success.

The presentation is 4 p.m. Saturday and is part of a track organized by Local First Arizona (LFA), a non-profit organization working to strengthen communities and local economies. Local First Arizona educates citizens, stakeholders, business leaders, and legislators about the significant environmental, economic, and cultural benefits of strong local economies.

This 2nd annual event has grown substantially from its roots at Arizona State University, and is supported by the Global Institute of Sustainability at ASU, the Green Buildings Council of Arizona, and the Greater Phoenix Economic Council among others.
