Back in April I had the chance to attend GoGreen 2014 in Seattle, WA. Its a national annual conference on the newest methods and delivery systems being incorporated across both private and public sectors but is mainly housed with different metropolitan leaders and officials. A 3-day event, I had attempted to attend the 2013 conference but couldn't make the scheduling work so I was overjoyed that my last final was finished the day before the conference began in late April. 

Focusing on sustainability and reducing the distance of logistical and transportation networks to focus more on local abilities, GoGreen 2014 brought leaders from all the major cities and businesses in the area (Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, and Darigold in particular) into the same conference showcasing their most recent advancements in those areas. Along with lectures and Q&As, there was workshops, booths, and theoretical presentations on what might be in the pipeline. 

Overall, I had looked forward to attending GoGreen for a few years now and was not disappointed in what I picked up from the 3 day event. I was able to create new network contacts in a region of America I would love to get my career started in and picked up new skills to bring with me to any new position I hold in the future. I would recommend the next incarnation of GoGreen to anybody interested in advancements in sustainability, especially when it pertains to what is being done in the public sector.
