Revolutionary Green

Join us at the U.S. Green Building Council’s Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Boston November 19-21, 2008. Boston is the historic cradle of the American Revolution and home to innovations that have far-reaching impact. It is the perfect place to celebrate Greenbuild 2008’s theme of “Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability.”

Buildings play a critical role in protecting and improving our environment and the health of the people who occupy them. USGBC’s Greenbuild Conference and Expo provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with other green building peers, industry experts, and influential leaders as they share innovations in the green building movement.

Boston

Known as "America's Walking City" Boston offers its visitors the opportunity to enjoy a unique 'green getaway' car-free! Boston has pedestrian-friendly streets and expansive riverfront parks. A walking tour from charming Beacon Hill to Boston's downtown waterfront Harborwalk is a highlight of Boston's mobility and diversity. Also, be sure to visit Boston's most popular visitor attraction, the Freedom Trail. This trail brings tourists to Boston's most historic sites as well as popular cultural districts.

Boston is also home to an easy-to-navigate public transit system. Its four color-coded Trolley lines connect numerous hotels, attractions, shops, Boston neighborhoods, and, of course, convention centers. With the recent opening of a new transit line, Logan International Airport is connected as well!

Boston & Cambridge hotels, restaurants, attractions, and tours are engaged in a widespread 'greening' initiative. Learn more about Boston's Green Vistiors Program, part of the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Greening Greenbuild

At our Greenbuild conferences we strive to leave a legacy of improved environmental practices in each of our host cities. As proof of our committment to this legacy, Greenbuild is a two-time recipient of the IMEX Environmental Meeting Award. More than 100% of the emissions from attendee travel and conference center use are offset via Cleaner and Greener certification, and close collaboration with Meeting Strategies Worldwide on green strategies and innovations. Learn more, in detail, about the practices we implement at our Greenbuild conferences to further our legacy of green.
