A Sustainable Backdrop
The setting for Sustainable Brands '08 is no less exciting than the conference itself. The Hyatt Regency reflects a deep commitment to sustainable practices—from their Recycle, Reuse, Reduce Program to their policy requiring the use of toxic-free cleaning equipment. Set on the shores of beautiful Monterey coastline, the Hyatt provides sustainable luxury within the coastal area made famous in 1945 by Steinbeck’s book Cannery Row.
Monterey is considered the global epicenter of sustainable aquaculture. Home to a thriving economy based on sustainable fishing and agriculture, Monterey is also located near the technological epicenter of Silicon Valley, and the conference offers the best that California has to offer in sustainable food and wines.
