WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Stratacomm LLC announced today the launch of DCGreenScene, a free online calendar that captures the leading events shaping energy and environmental policy in the nation's capital. From seminars and industry conferences to congressional hearings and media events, the site – found at www.dcgreenscene.com – provides a comprehensive list of upcoming activities in one stop.

"Energy and environmental policy activity is greater than ever," explained Bill Buff, executive vice president and senior partner at Stratacomm. "Each week brings new research and perspectives from policymakers, corporations, associations, think tanks, non-profits and grassroots organizations. These developments have a big influence on shaping policy, yet for professionals and stakeholders involved in the energy and environmental debate, tracking these events can be a major chore."

To help ease that burden, Stratacomm developed DCGreenScene to offer a number of valuable features:

Free, easy-to-use calendar aggregating important events in one place
Comprehensive listing of upcoming events relevant to energy and environment policy discussions
Filter and sort by issue area, energy source, date, event type and sponsor
Everything you need to know about date, time, location and cost, including links for registration and driving directions
Add interesting events directly to Outlook, iCal and Gmail calendars
Sign up for weekly updates, subscribe to an RSS feed or follow news on Twitter and Facebook

DCGreenScene also offers users and groups a valuable outpost for promoting events they're hosting, sponsoring or otherwise affiliated with. Events must take place in the Washington, DC metro area and be related to the energy and environment sector in order to be considered.

"We hope this new website will be a helpful guide for professionals whose jobs depend on staying current with what's happening on the DCGreenScene," concluded Buff.
