Off to the Summit I go...


I am just packing up my final items for our display booth at the Canada Green Building Council's Shifting into the Mainstream Summit starting early Wednesday Morning. I will be using our new trade show displays which we got through http://www.ecsigns.ca/ They are great to work with and turned the displays around within 7 business days.
While at the Summit I will be partnered up with a rep from Tree Canada who we work with on a monthly basis planting a tree for each advertiser in our papers. I also hope to meet up with a representative from the 2008 Green Building Festival (We are the media sponsor for that this Fall).
My goal while at the summit is to not only display our products and the coverage of the event but also network and build relationships. If you are going to the event please stop by our booth.
The summit – taking place on June 11-12, 2008 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre – will attract over 1,000 professionals from across all sectors of the building industry including:

real estate owners, managers, tenants and brokers
development industry
retail, construction and product manufacturers
architects, designers and other professional firms
financiers and support services
utility providers
academics, researchers and policy advisors
non-profit and industry/standards associations that share an interest in green buildings and communities


The CaGBC is committed to delivering a delegate experience featuring:

front-line access to green building leaders and their experience with the coast-to-coast pilot projects, first demonstration of the certification attainment processes for the next generation of LEED Canada, insight on economic opportunities and challenges of green buildings, and inspiration and support for a broad market adoption of a national buildings-centric climate change strategy
