Greenbuild novembre 2024

Je suis super intéressé par cette conférence étant dans le BTP. L'innovation sera au Rendez-vous. Comment procéder pour avoir une lettre d'invitation. Merci

The attendees don't care much about the exhibits. Low traffic. Many have their green materials picked and don't need more or care. The specification booths are there, and not many in automation, energ...y, EV, or other things that matter for building operation. The attendees are not very focused on the ways buildings will ultimately run. Many exhibitors shut down very early and even disassemble. It's not worth funding. It's an affirmation crowd. They get the same politically oriented guest speakers stating platitudes so everyone can feel great about accomplishing very little. Voir plus

President Obama!! High quality sessions addressing key topics of health and wellness in the built environment.

Over all it was a well organized event, with things going forth in a very timely manner. The keynote with President Obama, was absolutely wonderful. The floor sessions were engaging and informative as... well. However, I would like to see more one on one networking opportunities and smaller events and more innovative products from the industry on the trade floor. I thought the actual products were quite few and one or two that were not really industry relevant. Voir plus

Greenbuild 2019 not only happened in Atlanta where I practice, the mix of speakers, tour locations, content delivered and networking opportunities couldn't have been better. The breadth and depth of i...ssues covered really appealed to me, ranging across health, resiliency, climate change, equity, ecosystems, building efficiency and sustainable design. I particularly appreciated USGBC's holistic focus via its Living Standard campaign based on storytelling. While the LEED rating system remains a star attraction, it is now one of the several stars. Besides attending, I had volunteered on the tours committee which gave me a newfound appreciation for all the background effort that goes into planning a successful event like this one. Voir plus

Context: I utilize Greenbuild primarily as a networking and education opportunity. I attending in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 ... then a hiatus and have restarted again. Overall, I find the commerc...ial feel has risen. Sponsorships are important, but I was noticing many businesses as underwriters who have complex environmental records (or political alliances that cast doubt on environmental commitment). Education sessions are still solid. I was happy that ours got strong attendance (early Friday morning, tough slot) and went to another good one right after that. The Expo floor seemed to be missing several of the regulars this year. Even so, it was a valuable conglomerate of companies and had both networking and education value. I was pleased with the number of small talks on the floor; I like that addition (although acoustics are a challenge). Keynotes are usually strong; I enjoyed Obama and Jeanne Gang (tho I wish she'd asked me to proofread her deck; typo ouch). I plan to attend in San Diego (although I am distinctly NOT pleased that it's the week of the election). As someone who has attended these for more than 15 years (not every year), I think that the clarity of purpose is missing from this event these days (which may be more about USGBC generally: the landscape in which it operates now, versus 15 years ago, is entirely different, in large part due to its own success: the mainstreaming has, in many ways, occurred). But it's a more complex landscape now, and Greenbuild still has the challenge of meeting the needs of multiple audiences. I think there is some muddled messaging afoot and unifying things would be appropriate. It might even be time to crystallize who this event is most for (primary audience + a couple secondary ones). Many people I know can only attend one a year, and they are choosing betwen this and Living Future (and sometimes AIA). Lastly: The Women in Green Power Luncheon is always a treat. It sometimes feels a little over produced, but it's large, so that's the nature of what it has become. But every year I meet some new people, often young people, and that's a real treat. This year a high school girl from NC stole the show for me. This year's speakers at this event were excellent, too. (Full disclosure: I co-authored the 2007 book Women in Green, which helped inspire this event, as Kimberly will tell you, so I'm a little biased.) See you in San Diego! Voir plus

Always enjoy the content and networking. I come back to work inspired and refreshed!

Great opportunity to connect to professional related to green building and finding new businesses connection. Lots of knowledgeable workshops and seminars. Had great time!

Educational content set it up this year with the advanced sessions providing in-depth knowledge and analysis.

Greenbuild Atlanta was the second Greenbuild Conference I have attended. The education I have received from these events is invaluable and the people you meet are amazing! The wealth of knowledge and... the willingness to share that knowledge from everyone involved, is something you just can’t put a price on. I highly recommend the Greenbuild Conference for anyone whether they are looking to get in to the field of sustainability or have been in the field for years! Voir plus
