Accelerate Conference: sketches of speakers<\/h2>\n

Last week I was in Toronto at Evergreen Brik Works<\/a> attending The Natural Step Accelerate<\/em> Conference<\/a> (June 5-6, 2014). Here are a few quick sketches I did when speakers were on stage.

Accelerate<\/a><\/em> is a conference convened by The Natural Step Canada<\/a> on the theme of collaboration, recognizing that organizations can only go so far alone on their sustainability journey before they run up against barriers that require them to work with new partners. Accelerate<\/em> 2014 was the second edition and gathered about 150 people interested in deepening learning about collaboration from experts and practitioners, to experience collaboration by creating connections with other change agents, and to seed new collaborative initiatives. Using a mix of plenary, breakout, and group sessions, it showcased the expertise and real life experience of dozens of speakers from across all sectors and backgrounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
