The theme and discussions at Network’08 center around some of the most pressing topics facing our industry today. One such issue is the speed-of-light movement that is environmental responsibility and “Going Green.” The concepts driving sustainability and responsibility permeate your business on a 360º scope: customer demands, employee expectations, vendor partnering, government regulations, job opportunities. In order to compete effectively in these days of “Green,” ASA has identified areas in which it can support its members through education and opportunity. Several seminars at Network’08 speak directly to these topics, including:
