How all countries enable their populations to raise their standard of living while bringing their lifestyles into balance with nature is a vital challenge for the 21st century and what Josh's ventures strive to address.

I was thrilled with how well the program was received -- it was a 'home run.' Your message was inspiring and hit on all the points we wanted to cover in a positive and meaningful way. The examples you provided were great!

Josh Dorfman delivered the opening keynote for the inaugural Green + Design Conference & Exposition. We couldn't have asked for a better kickoff to our event. Josh spoke directly to our theme of integrating green design principles into business practice. Our audience represented designers from a variety of disciplines and Josh was able to keep them all engaged with his ideas about being more green without having to make terrific sacrifices. Our designer audience left impressed with his examples as well as his humor and wisdom.

An engaging speaker on a timely subject. His ability to combine the green with the easily doable makes for a compelling talk. We'd have him back in a heartbeat and recommend (him) to all our colleagues who are trying to expand their audience or customer base.

Josh Dorfman captured the hearts and minds at GetThere's annual customer summit. The audience consisted of a couple hundred corporate travel and procurement managers from Global and Fortune 500 companies. Not only was his style entertaining and thought provoking, his content was right-on and timely for these professionals who are needing to build a strategy for 'green' within their own global organizations. There was a long line to buy his book afterwards!

(His) well-received presentation provided insight… It showcased aspects of green building and environmentalism that most environmental forums do not cover… What differentiated this presentation from others was Josh's ability to interest and engage the audience right from the beginning. In fact, many audience members remained after the presentation to continue the conversation.
