WHY Global Sustainability Jam – Hong Kong 2011?

Hong Kong Sustainability Jam 2011 is the local host in Hong Kong that brings passionate people of diverse background together to use creativity and collective intelligence to solve world’s sustainability issues. 

2.  Be part of a strictly INVITE ONLY GLOBAL EVENT – LIVE with 27 countries around the world!

Hong Kong Sustainability Jam really is about the people, and as a result it’s strictly by invite only. We intentionally limit the event to no more than 56 people, so we can keep it intimate. If you’d like to receive an invite, the first step is to sign up. We’ll then get in touch with you, and figure out whether you’re a good fit.
