Karmakonsum Goes Social Business
March 12th, 2009 by Frans Posted in Blog
Where last years Karmakonsum Konferenz had a primary focus on LOHAS and marketing, this year the program has a stronger focus on social business, with speakers like Hans Reitz (Mohammed Yunus right-hand) and Peter Spiegel from the GENISIS, a Greencamp that also puts the topic of social entrepreneurship more into light.
Also a special “Sartup Awards” for startup green and social entrepreneurs celebrate their first edition with a Gala party. Startups can apply here until the 19th of April. The winner get’s a price worth 30.000 Euro in business coaching, advertising space and green office equipment.
It is interesting to see that the “LOHAS” topic itself is slightly moving out from the spotlights, and that Christoph and Noel have looked for topics that could be an answer to current economic events.
The Greencamp is organized in the tradition of a Barcamp; which is an open conference form where participants decide together over the program and where everyone can offer a workshop. While the conference has it’s price, the Greencamp and Awards Gala are are free of charge. What about really camping somewhere with the visitors of the camp?
