Join the 3BL Network Effect: San Jose for Insights on Sustainability and Social Impact
Silicon Valley companies dedicated to sustainability and social impact will gather to share insights and foster networking opportunities on October 23 at the 3BL Network Effect: San Jose event. This free, half-day event will be held at Logitech’s San Jose campus and is open to professionals working in corporate social responsibility, sustainability, social impact, communications, marketing, and investor relations across companies, agencies, and nonprofits. Complimentary breakfast will be provided.
 
Dave Armon, 3BL vice chair and host of the event, stated, “With tech being the world’s largest industry, employing nearly 5 million people in the U.S., we are thrilled to engage with companies whose innovations, teams, and cultures have the power to create a better future.”
 
Participating organizations include Cadence Design Systems, Cisco Systems, Fast Forward, Intuit, and Logitech. The event will feature panel discussions, fireside chats, and research presentations on consumer attitudes towards sustainability, offering a space for Silicon Valley companies, nonprofits, and NGOs to collaborate for greater impact.
 
Highlights of the agenda include:
