Greenbuild 2004

By Masonry

Green building has become a major force in building and construction. With adoptions by major building owners including GSA, Toyota, PNC Financial Services Group and many others, it's fast becoming recognized as the standard for smart construction.

The U.S. Green Building Council's Greenbuild International Conference & Expo brings the industry together under one roof. Three days of extensive educational programming, a vast exhibition floor including over 400 product and service displays, and ample networking events give you unrivaled opportunities to learn about the latest innovations, exchange ideas and develop new business relationships.

Last year's conference drew more than 5,200 professionals from 22 countries, including architects and engineers, facilities managers, developers, contractors, builders, interior designers, federal, state and local governments, and product manufacturers, just to name a few.

Join us in Portland, Ore., Nov. 10-12, 2004, to learn about the leading edge of the building and construction industry, including the latest updates and expansions of the LEED Green Building Rating System?. For years you've been building upward. At Greenbuild, learn how to build forward.
