Wall Street Journal to Host First Annual Environmental Capital Conference
Executive ECO:nomics Conference to Focus on the Fast-Growing World of Green Business
Arnold Schwarzenegger Added to the List of Confirmed Speakers
NEW YORK ( Oct. 9, 2007) — The Wall Street Journal today announced it will launch ECO:nomics-Creating Environmental Capital, a CEO-level conference that will focus on the strategic relationship between the environment and the bottom line. The conference will be held March 12-14 in Santa Barbara, Calif. at the Bacara Resort & Spa.
ECO:nomics will focus on the impact of environmental issues on the CEO, bring together key industry luminaries, political and thought leaders who are shaping environmental regulations, policies, and business strategies, uncover the most compelling new opportunities, and cut through the hype to deliver the bottom line on business and the environment.
The conference will be hosted by Wall Street Journal experts Alan Murray, executive editor of Wall Street Journal Online; Kimberley Strassel, editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal; and Jeffrey Ball, environment news editor of The Wall Street Journal. The journalists will interview the top thinkers, innovators and trend-setters in the fast-growing world of green business.
“In the last year, there has been a sea change in the way the environment is viewed in the C-suites of large corporations,” said Mr. Murray. “We created this conference to bring the Journal’s level of thinking and analysis to this issue, and help companies understand how to both maximize the economic opportunities created by this heightened environmental consciousness, and minimize any economic pain.”

EXCLUSIVE: interview with CEO & Founder of gogofrog – itsReal
APLINK, a.k.a. Andrew Peters has just had an important call from the Australian High Commission and in the background are “frog like” obscene sounds emanating from my MacBook. How hard to keep a straight face and be serious with my homeland officials. These are the sounds emanating from the gogofrog websites homepage.
During the “State of Play” Virtual Conference I had the opportunity to hand my very last very badly mangled Pacific West Communications business card to the Founder of gogofrog, whilst I blushed with embarrassment, in true Aussie style he withdraw his own business card from his wallet and swiftly screwed it up…unfolded it and handed it to me with a “she’ll be right MATE” Rapturous laughter erupted and along with his business partner, Lorenzo from Japan, the gogofrog story began to unfold.

Thanks to Bernard of SGentrepreneurs here is his post of the CEO meeting of HIPIPI.com
Last Tuesday, before the State of Play V party “Flash Forward”, thanks to Andrew Peters and the Digital Movement, I was invited to meet up with Xu Hui, CEO of HiPiHi and we spent one hour together with him, hearing his thoughts and aspirations about HiPiHi, China’s virtual world platform creator with an interesting tagline, “The World Exists because of You”. We will also hear his thoughts about how HiPiHi differentiates herself from Second Life. Here is a summary of the main points during that one hour conversation.
