NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 7, 2008) - More than 300 global leaders will convene for
The World Critical Resources Summit September 5, 2008 at The Times Center
in New York City. Expert insights from the United Nations to the U.S.
Department of Energy will influence solutions about renewable energy,
water, food, medicine, child health and shelter.
A new, online public forum will represent global conversations in advance
of the conference at www.criticalresources.org/forum and registrations for
the event are at www.criticalresources.org.
Although the conference will address how we can protect and expand our
critical resources, the epicenter of debate will continue to be oil,
explained William Loiry, president of Equity International and founder of
the World Critical Resources Summit. "Protecting our world's critical
resources means that we all take time to do our part. It will not be
accomplished single-handedly but collectively by a culture that understands
how important it is to proactively protect this planet," said Loiry.
Loiry, who is an expert is sustaining the Earth's critical resources, has
been facilitating clean energy solutions and leading more than 10,000
government officials and corporate leaders via his organization's premier
events. For more than 14 years, as the founder and president of Equity
International, a Washington, D.C.-based business development firm, Loiry
has pioneered U.S. - Russian business training programs, hosting more than
500 Russian oil and bank executives on business tours of the U.S. and has
hosted high level homeland and global security forums in Washington D.C.,
featuring leaders from presidential administrations, the White House,
Pentagon and Congress since 1998.
Loiry, currently a member of the Clinton Global Initiative with a focus on
Energy and Climate Change, is a former U.S. Delegate to the Club of Rome
international conference in Madrid in 2005 and was a U.S. Delegate to the
World Economic Forum's Extraordinary Annual Meeting on the Dead Sea in
Jordan in 2003.
Loiry's new website, CriticalResources.org, will be a sounding board for
all who are interested in posting their proposed solutions for clean
energy, clean water, sustainable food, attainable medicine and more. To
