GoingGreen is where cutting-edge greentech CEOs meet the movers and shakers from the biggest industries on earth. Green technology innovators are transforming trillion dollar industries - and the solutions they are delivering not only promise to clean up pollution and restore ecosystems, but also to bring abundance and prosperity to everyone on earth. In fundamental areas, water, energy and land, resource abundance is just around the corner, through the power of technology and free markets. This two-and-a-half-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on the most promising emerging green technologies and new entrepreneurial opportunities. At GoingGreen, our editors will also honor the GoingGreen 100 Top Private Companies. Fifty of the top CEOs from the GoingGreen 100 will pitch their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in our "CEO Showcase."

Who Participates in GoingGreen
Seven hundred greentech CEOs, business development officers, eminent researchers, venture capital and private-equity investors, and leading members of the press and blogging community will attend GoingGreen. Thousands of webcast viewers from over 100 countries will also tune in and interact with the program. Executives attend GoingGreen to identify and debate emerging trends, build high-level relationships and create new business opportunities.

Cavallo Point – The Lodge at the Golden Gate
This year, GoingGreen will be held at Cavallo Point, a brand new green resort and spa located in historic Fort Baker, near Sausalito at the Golden Gate Bridge's north end. Without compromising comfort or luxury, Cavallo Point is committed to the highest standards of historic preservation and sustainability. Overlooking San Francisco, the Bay and Alcatraz, Cavallo Point also offers attendees and their guests an opportunity to explore nature, experience Northern California culture and renew themselves. The signature restaurant Murray Circle showcases a California menu with a French accent, plus exceptional wines. The Healing Arts Center and Spa nurtures with spa treatments and wellness experiences.

Cavallo Point offers only 142 guest suites in both contemporary and historic lodging. The spacious rooms — most with views of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge — provide guests a soothing space to unwind with the highest quality beds and linens, cozy reading chairs and gas fireplaces. Reserve your accommodations early, so you can be assured to stay on site.
