"This esteemed group of individuals will be helping set the direction of the event and will ensure the key message of brand integration is infused throughout all aspects of the conference," said KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, CEO of Sustainable Life Media. "Sustainable Brands is about building brand value that moves beyond green, to a holistic approach integrating environmental and social impact with shareholder value as the new bottom line for the world's most forward-thinking companies and organizations, and this group is going to make certain our conference is tightly wound around that vision."

Widely reputed to be the most compelling sustainability conference of the year, Sustainable Brands '07 debuted in New Orleans in September 2007, convening 230 brand leaders from market-making companies such as AMD, AT&T, BP, Dell, Coca-Cola, Clorox, GE, HP, Kimberly-Clark, Kendall Jackson, Nestle/Purina, Pepsi, Time, Inc., Wal-Mart and an unprecedented list of others.
