ARCHITECTURE FOR HUMANITY CO-FOUNDER + TED PRIZE WINNER TO SPEAK AT 2010-2011 SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIES ECONOMIC FORUMS Cameron Sinclair Will Keynote at Economic Forums in Four West Coast Cities

2006 TED Prize Winner and Co-Founder of the acclaimed non-profit, Architecture For Humanity, Cameron Sinclair will Keynote the 2010-2011 series of the Sustainable Industries Economic Forums. Sinclair, who was inspired to co-found Architecture For Humanity following the conflict in Kosovo in the late 1990s, will speak on the role culture and social responsibility play in fostering a truly sustainable global economy. Attendees in San Francisco (September 16, 2010), Portland (September 17, 2010), Seattle (September 23, 2010) and Santa Monica (January 2011) will have the opportunity to hear Sinclair speak live, as well as continue the dialogue via online channels through Sustainable Industries media outlets.

"With these subjects there is a layering affect," said Sinclair. "We have to look at a holistic approach to business models. We need to realign the way we think about success. There's a big conversation that needs to be had on how to define success and sustainability for the next generation."
