Why You Should Come

Whether you're an architect, designer, builder, developer, facility manager, realtor, or government official, West Coast Green is an unprecedented opportunity for you to advance your personal and professional goals while having the time of your life.

• Contribute to the transformation of the built environment by joining forces with like-minded professionals and shaping the dialogue at the forums.
• Learn from a trustworthy, independent curriculum. As a private, unaffiliated event West Coast Green has no competing interests. That means you can count on the highest standards for quality and integrity throughout the event.
• Discover expert solutions from the luminaries, innovators, and experts who will be available to answer your questions.
• Network with the entire chain of decision-makers influencing the built environment who are not reached by other events. Find your next business partner, meet a funder, and talk to someone that completely changes your perspective. This is networking heaven.
• Find advanced trainings for those of you who’ve already passed Green Building 101 and are ready for the next level! Become better at what you do by getting more information about how to do it well. Simple.
• Gain a business advantage by getting advanced market knowledge and sneak previewing state-of-the-art technologies.
• Learn about the emerging products on the market. Meet the vendors and see how you can use revolutionary products in your projects.
• Be Inspired. Open your mind and ignite your imagination by hearing the latest angles and innovations at the ever-expanding frontiers of the industry. Remember what inspired you to go green in the first place and the excitement and passion you felt for the cause.
• Have some fun. Really. Enjoy the exhibits, play Stump the Chemist, network, and then pull yourself away from the tradeshow floor. You’ll find yourself in San Francisco in October. Need we say more?
