Traveling the Green Way

Keeping Up With Conde Nast Traveler’s 2nd Annual World Savers Congress.

by Liz Lewis on September 23rd, 2008

Conde Nast Traveler’s 2nd Annual World Savers Congress is being held today (23 September) in New York City.

Basically, the Congress is a gathering of travel industry leaders. They join together in one place in order to discuss ways to reduce environmental impact and help improve the economic well-being, health, and education of communities in which their companies operate.

There are some great speakers - Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Jeffrey Sachs, and Ashley Judd - as well as many panels and discussions, including one moderated by Wendy Perrin of The Perrin Post.

Having read the notes on last year’s World Savers Congress, I sure wish I was in New York and attending this event. But that, of course, is not possible.

Instead, I’ll be at the Congress, virtually, through Pam Mandel’s (aka NerdsEyeView) twitter posts. Pam was handpicked by Conde Nast Traveler to go to NYC and provide live continuing news feed (twitter) and also blog about the Congress so that people like you and me could feel involved and follow along.
