Thanks to a generous sponsorship from my college and an alum, I will be attending the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Philadelphia on November 20-22! And, I will be live tweeting it all @CityMentality!
Greenbuild is the only conference dedicated to sustainable building and development. The conference covers topics including LEED certification, green infrastructure, resiliency, mixed-use development, adaptive reuse, and much more.
Over the next few weeks I will be exploring some of the topics I will be learning about in the education sessions at Greenbuild. There were many fascinating sessions to choose from! After much pondering, here are the ones I chose to attend:
- 20/20: Evidence-Based Deep Retrofit Strategies for Smart Schools
- Wrangling the White Elephant: Reuse Spurring Revitilization
- Reinventing Philadelphia Through Green Infrastructure
- The World is Flat: 21st Century Approach to Urban Hydrology
- Affordable Green Neighborhoods Support Public Health
- Motivating Green Building Around the World
- A Civic Engagement Model for Sustainable Initiatives
- Master Speaker Ron Finley
