"While the entire focus of the world community should rightly remain on relief efforts at this time, relief efforts alone will not be enough to rebuild this proud and historic nation on a sustainable basis. This rebuilding will take the collective effort of many, many creative and talented social entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists from around the world - connecting with the Haitian diaspora and individual governments to forge a new, sustainable path for the Haitian people. Sustainable Haiti will provide a connection point and a launching pad for this historic and heroic effort. We want to support our friends and neighbors in Haiti at this critical time in its history."
SVC/SE, Miami-2010 has established a separate website for Sustainable Haiti, which can be found at www.haiticonference.com
A partial list of invited and confirmed speakers + topics can be found on the website.

Net proceeds from Sustainable Haiti will be donated to Haiti relief organizations.
