Event Partnerships
Fostering a sustainable, economically vibrant region through education, inspiration, and celebration.

Over the last three decades, GBA has hosted over 25,000 event attendees and provided more than 1,000 hours of programming on topics running from sustainable design and construction, energy efficiency strategies, professional certifications, renewable energy, electrification, embodied carbon, carbon reduction, building materials, universal design principles, and more.
The Green Building Alliance events team works seamlessly across all GBA program areas to offer presentations, building tours, workshops, and professional training, as well as in-person and online resources. We seek to prepare current and future building leaders of all interest and experience levels. And we create ways for our regional experts to learn from and inspire one another.
“This impressive event demonstrated the broad-based commitment to the built environment and sustainability across a range of social sectors — government, business and nonprofit.”
