Our annual conference is Indiana’s premier waste reduction and recycling event, featuring exhibitors from around the country involved in all aspects of waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. We also offer educational sessions that cover current topics and issues in those same fields, and featured speakers who sometimes give us a different take on what we are doing and why. Learning from each other, gaining new professional contacts, and providing attendees with the tools to do more waste reduction & recycling are prime goals of our conference. We do our best to make all this happen in a fun, inviting atmosphere!
Attendees include administrators, program directors, purchasing agents, sales representatives, and educators from a wide variety of organizations. There is something for everyone: - Healthcare sector / Local health departments
- Solid waste & recycling professionals
- Colleges and universities
- Design/build industry
- Hospitality industry

GBN became an official member of Indiana Recycling Coalition (IRC) .
The mission of IRC is to support source reduction, reuse, composting and recycling activities in Indiana.
To encourage integrated recycling, the Coalition supports buying recycled-content products, and the collection and remanufacturing of recyclable materials.
The goal of this support is to conserve our natural resources, decrease reliance on final disposal and to encourage environmental responsibility.
GBN members can attend IRC networking events, obtain deep discounts for conference and other events, access to their member only resources and tools.
What do you do in this Economy??? We all know, to get more sales we need to get out of our caves and meet new people.
I have noticed, you never know what might come out as a result of attending a networking event. The outcomes are unpredictably good most of the time.
All you need to do is not to prejudge the event ahead of time, and just GO!
Please refer to the calendar of Indy networking events
Put on your calendar an Important Green Business Networking Event - SustaIN!
