| Article | WASHINGTON—Whether it’s saving the planet with indigenous knowledge, making permanent water part of your life, diving deep water for clues to environmental success or exploring the unknown with Discovery Channel’s best known guide, these are but a few of the ideas participants can connect to at the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, taking place Nov. 11 to 13, in Phoenix. This year’s theme is Main Street Green: Connect to the Conversation. “Green buildings and homes are cropping up on main streets across the country, making this year’s conference theme an even more relevant conversation,” said Kimberly Lewis, vice president, conferences and events, USGBC. “This year’s master speakers will help elevate the key issues we face as a global community to the level of the main streets where we live, work and play.” In addition to its master speakers, Greenbuild 2009 will also feature over 100 educational sessions, LEED and education provider workshops, off-site educational sessions, a two-day residential summit, and tours of local green building sites throughout the Phoenix area. A total of 1,700 exhibitors will showcase leading technologies and products in green design, construction and operations. To learn more about Greenbuild 2009, visit greenbuildexpo.org. |
