PHOENIX, NOVEMBER 11-13, 2009 WWW.GREENBUILDEXPO.ORG SIGN UP BY SEPTEMBER 15 FOR REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS GREENBUILD IS HEADING TO THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST, a region with unique environmental and social challenges and opportunities, and the imperative is clear: Green building can and must come home to all people, boosting the quality of life on main streets across the country and around the world. Join us at Greenbuild 2009 in Phoenix, and engage in the conversation we must have to bring green to everyone, and bring everyone to green.
Through Greenbuild, the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council brings together more than 25,000 people each year to advance the conversation about how we can build a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-effective, energy-efficient, water-saving green buildings. With a community of 78 local affiliates, more than 20,000 member companies and organizations that employ some 14 million people, and more than 131,000 LEED Accredited Professionals, USGBC is the driving force of an industry that is projected to soar to $60 billion by 2010. WHAT’S NEW TO DO AT GREENBUILD PHOENIX
Attend a Celebration – The opening plenary and Leadership Awards Celebration will combine into our biggest event ever at the Greenbuild Opening Keynote & Celebration on Wednesday evening. Featuring the soon to be announced keynote address followed by a concert by Sheryl Crow, the conference-wide extravaganza will be hosted at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Find a Job – The first-ever Greenbuild Job Fair is an easy way to network with exhibiting companies for your job search, without trying to meet all of the 1,000+ exhibiting companies. This evening event will provide a more relaxed atmosphere to interact with your prospective employers, and gives exhibitors a chance to get to know candidates in a less hectic environment.
Get Newly Inspired – Listen in on interviews with top artists discussing the intersection of art, technology, and sustainability at Greenbuild’s own version of Inside the Actor’s Studio. Greenbuild Salons feature an intimate interview format to give you a fresh perspective on popular industry topics.
Join the Board – You can be a fly-on-the-wall in the boardroom at the Executive Roundtable, a round-table discussion with executives surrounded by stadium seating. Those interested in education will want to check out the School Board Member Roundtable with the same thought-provoking format.
Bring the Family – Don’t let your significant other or children miss out on a memorable trip to the American Southwest. With the USGBC Companion Program, your significant other will enjoy relaxing activities designed to highlight all that Phoenix has to offer, while your children are entertained by children’s programming experts KiddieCorp as part of our first Greenbuild Children’s Program.
