USGBC Shares Top Reasons to Attend Greenbuild 2019
As the world's largest convening of green building and sustainability leaders, the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo is known for cultivating new ideas and showcasing the latest trends and technologies shaping the development of green buildings, cities and communities. Taking place at the LEED-certified Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta from Nov. 19-22, 2019, this year's conference will bring together more than 15,000 attendees who will help shape the future of the industry. This year's theme, "A New Living Standard," will inspire powerful discussions around buildings and their ability to improve quality of life for every person. To help attendees get the most out of their Greenbuild experience, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is sharing some of the most buzz-worthy sessions and activities.
