The Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center (MTTC), the Massachusetts Hydrogen Coalition, and the MIT Enterprise Forum in conjunction with major sponsoring organizations, announce the third annual Conference on Clean Energy at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, October 29-30, 2007.

This year’s conference, the third annual event, brings together the latest technologies, leading CEOs, inventors and entrepreneurs who bring them to life, investment perspectives, and employers, all focused on accelerating the commercial success of their companies and the key issues facing the cleantech/greentech industry.

SUMMARY

Law firm Foley Hoag LLP has introduced an ambitious new identity and advertising campaign, highlighting its leading dispute resolution and intellectual property practices and its depth in life sciences and technology. Featuring the tagline “Driving Business Advantage,” Foley Hoag’s new platform is designed to bypass conventional law firm messaging to address client demands from their legal advisors for fresh thinking and a keen understanding of client business needs.

The creative centerpiece of the campaign is a series of ads featuring images by noted fashion photographer Rodney Smith, whose work has appeared in New York Magazine and The New York Times Magazine. Instead of touting case wins or deals completed, the ads – comprised of arresting black-and-white images of formally dressed men and women in unlikely settings – are meant to provoke business people to stop and consider how they view big-picture challenges and plot their paths to success.
