Exciting news – the mindsalt crew was awarded the Best in Category prize for Business Presentations in SlideShare’s 2009 World’s Best Presentation Contest. Thanks to everyone who voted for us! If you haven’t seen it yet, check out our presentation below:

We’re pleased to announce that our very own Josh Beatty, Mindsalt’s Director of Strategic Planning and founder of the innovative energy monitoring company GreenerWay, will be presenting at IdeaFestival 09. Josh was asked to speak by the Young Professionals Association of Louisville as part of their Innovation Series.

Through his work with GreenerWay, Josh has become an expert in tracking and controlling energy consumption. He’ll be giving a presentation on the hidden economic costs of consumption. You might recognize some of the slides from an earlier presentation.

You can see Josh on Friday, Sept. 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts in Todd Hall. (That’s right before Anthony Bourdain’s event for the lucky folks who scored tickets to that one.) Best of all, the event is free, so come on down and check it out.

For more information, visit YPAL’s website or the IdeaFestival website.

If you’d like to show us some love and learn a little something at the same time, check out our presentation over at Slideshare. We’ve submitted an entry to Slideshare and Adobe’s “World’s Best Presentation 2009″ contest.

Our presentation is called “Eco-nomics: The hidden cost of everyday consumption”. It’s about uncovering the hidden economic and ecological effects of the products we consume on a daily basis. Vote for it now!
