Building Lasting Change, CaGBC National Conference and Expo

It’s a new year, and it’s a new look for the CaGBC National Conference and Expo. Now called Building Lasting Change, the annual green building conference hosted by the Canada Green Building Council will take place on June 2 – 4 in Toronto, Canada. The Conference and Expo will explore the value of green through the lens of sustainable building, real estate and neighbourhood development. This year’s program will address new information on the business case and performance of green buildings, but also embrace the broader value proposition of building green. Going beyond the operational savings, the focus will be on emerging benefits that are now becoming better understood. One of the keynote speakers will be Bruce Mau of Massive Change Network. Educational sessions designed around six themes, multiple workshops, and networking events will keep any attendee busy. The trade show will feature 200 exhibitors, and special themed pavilions such as the Green Product Showcase, Energy Conservation Pavilion, and CaGBC Education Theatre. Green Building Tours starting one day before the Conference will also be offered to feature the real working examples in Toronto’s community.
