EcoTuesday was born from a conversation between two friends about the challenges of networking in today’s business world. The idea was for an event that would provide a shared context of sustainability for all participants.

Their goal is to connect sustainable business leaders with one another to potentially create products and services that will have a positive impact on the environment. The networking event is structured each month with a speaker, a Q & A, and a time for everyone in the room to introduce themselves. EcoTuesday is now held on the fourth Tuesday of each month in cities across the US.
