Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, Nov. 14-16, Chicago, IL
Event Description
Greenbuild is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. The ideals and passion of the green building community come alive at Greenbuild. The buzz is contagious. Greenbuild brings together industry leaders, experts and frontline professionals dedicated to sustainable building in their everyday work, and a unique energy is sparked.

The three-day conference attracts 20,000+ attendees and 600 exhibitors annually from across the green building sector, spanning commercial and residential professionals, architects, building owners and operators, students, advocates and educators
The theme for Greenbuild 2018 is Human By Nature (styled as Human x Nature).
HUMAN BY NATURE // THE INTERSECTION OF HUMANITY & THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
The green building movement embraces all of humanity by making sustainable buildings and environments accessible to everyone, and in doing so, benefits the natural environment all around us. We are helping people understand their role in protecting and preserving the natural environment and leveraging the built environment to:
-Enhance human health and wellbeing
-Ensure resiliency
-Mitigate climate change
-Enhance community and social equity
-Restore and protect our ecosystems
-Enhance building efficiency and performance
-Promote sustainable design
The future of the human race is interlaced with the future of the planet, and the sustainable practices we celebrate and advance at Greenbuild remind us that our success as sustainability advocates, practitioners and professionals is more than a movement, it is a responsibility.
