16th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference: Pathways to Impact
Join us for Pathways to Impact, which will be held virtually and centers on four core themes that highlight the intersectionality of sustainable practices. Over the course of two intensive days—April 5 and 6—attendees will be immersed in keynotes, talks, and panel discussions providing pathways to Social Justice x Social Responsibility, Environment x Materials, Consumption x Waste, and Design x Business. The speakers are trailblazers in numerous facets of sustainability and emphasize the FIT community’s commitment to best practices in all its operations—including student projects, faculty and staff initiatives, and campus facilities.
