June 22nd, 2011 by Zachary Shahan

You probably remember reading something about GE’s ecomagination challenge. We’ve written about it a few times and it’s been advertised all over the internet. Well, wrapping up it’s second phase, GE is hosting a live conversation with leading innovators for 8 hours tomorrow on its website.

GE wrote in an email to me (and others, of course):

To mark the close of the second phase of the $200 million ecomagination Challenge, GE is bringing together the most creative thinkers in technology, music, art and business for an 8-hour, live online conversation. The audience will be able to watch moderated discussions and ‘ask anything’ of the line-up of breakthrough innovators, and can join the dialogue at www.ecomagination.com.

Some of the innovators include:

Beth Comstock, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, GE
Mark Vachon, vice president, GE ecomagination
Tim O’Reilly, CEO & founder, Make Magazine
John Mutter, CEO & founder, Bamboo Bike Project
Yves Behar, founder, fuseproject

James Hanusa, new initiatives advisor, Burning Man
Roo Rogers, co-founding partner, OZOLab
Rob Wolcott, senior lecturer of entrepreneurship & innovation, Kellogg School of Management

Looks like fun.
