Tri-State Sustainability Symposium: 2015 Twitter Chat Recap

It’s that time of year again!

We’re excited for Friday’s DVGBC Tri-State Sustainability Symposium. After speaking on a panel last year on about social media and sustainability, I’ll be moderating a panel on Oceans, Rivers and Waterways: Is Water a Precious Commodity or Awash and Aplenty?.

We’ve also been helping out with the Tri-StateSS Twitter Handle & Facebook page leading up to the event.

To hear more from Friday’s attendees, we co-hosted a Twitter chat yesterday with DVGBC (organizers of the Symposium).

It’s going to be a big year:


Without further ado, let’s review the chat yesterday.

And we’re excited for…

We think DVGBC’s Alex Yarde set the tone for tomorrow.

Follow the convo and tweet with us: #TriStateSS.

See you tomorrow!
