Greenbuild is celebrating its 10th anniversary from October 4-7 for the first time outside the United States. Toronto, Canada, is hosting this year’s conference and expo and is expecting nearly 30,000 attendees.
Background
Greenbuild is a snapshot of the green building industry as a whole, representing just how rapidly it is growing. This year’s theme, “Greenbuild NEXT,” is about the future of the green building movement, the new green economy and our global community. Take a sneak peek of the exhibitors at Greenbuild NEXT.
San Diego Represented
San Diego will be well represented with over six educational seminars. Doug Kot, Executive Director of the San Diego Green Building Council, mentions in the September Chapter e-news the following line-up:
Working with Local Leaders to Engage Your Community in the Green Building Process: Chula Vista Mayor Cheryl Cox along with Jaime Ortiz and Jesus Gandara from the Sweetwater Union High School District will be instructing advocates and industry professionals from across the nation on how to work with local leaders to engage your community in the green building process. A local success story being shared on a national level.
The Economics of Green Building: Charles Tu and Norm Miller from the University of San Diego will take the research track to a new level while some of our associates from firms like KEMA, HOK and the Centre City Development Corporation will talk about best business practices for the green building companies of the future. If you weren’t proud to be a San Diegan before, you will be after this conference.
Local Event
For those who can’t make the trip to Canada, the San Diego USGBC Chapter will host their monthly Lunch & LEED meeting October 12 where a panel of Greenbuild attendees will share the information and knowledge they picked up at the conference.
From Studio 2055, we’ll see you there!
