Join thousands of other people who agree that green building is a good idea and good for business. Attendees and exhibitors span the full range of green building professionals, includ- ing commercial and residential sectors, architects, building owners and operators, students, advocates and educators. This year, Greenbuild will also be celebrating USGBC’s 20th Anniversary. In addition, this is also a great chance to get to know the new LEED v4. Greenbuild will be the first place to learn about LEED v4. USGBC New Jersey is working to support Delaware Valley GBC, the USGBC host chapter for Greenbuild 2013. Greenbuild is a perfect opportunity to meet with green building colleagues, network with leading industry professionals and learn from in- ternational representatives from around the world. Each year, Greenbuild and its host committee develops a robust roster of events to complement the conference and expo. This year’s events include a Film Festival, Happy Hour, Job Fair, and more. I hope you will join us and take advantage of all that Greenbuild has to offer. For more information, visit www.greenbuildexpo.org.
