Registration for USGBC Live, a new virtual event experience for the global green building industry, is now open to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) community. USGBC Live will be held June 8-10, 2021, and features daily keynotes and a program lineup of topics touching on sustainability, the future of green building, health and wellness, resilience and equity in our buildings, homes, cities and communities.
USGBC President and CEO Mahesh Ramanujam will provide opening remarks and welcome the USGBC community to this inaugural event curated for the community, by the community.
“USGBC Live was designed to equip our industry leaders to meet their green building goals and objectives,” Ramanujam said. “It will serve as an important convening of our USGBC stakeholder network to showcase the USGBC and GBCI data, focusing on the LEED rating system and leadership stories while also offering a number of engagement opportunities.”
USGBC Live combines the expertise of the largest community of green building leaders with the data, insights, stories and leadership from the thousands of LEED and green building projects around the globe to produce insightful and engaging conversations.
This multi-day event will highlight lasting trends, how USGBC members are successfully managing building re-entry in a post-pandemic world, and the market shifts expected in 2021. LEED will be the central focus of the event and will include conversations on mapping the future of LEED Zero (net-zero energy, water, waste and carbon) and LEED v4.1 (the latest version of LEED).
The virtual event also will feature daily thought leadership plenaries, regional content channels and regional USGBC Leadership Awards. View the USGBC schedule at a glance on the website.
