Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc.
Florida Home Builders Association
Southeast Building Conference
|
The Florida Green Builders Coalition, Inc. (FGBC) and the
Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) have agreed to co-locate
their trade shows and educational conferences for 2007. The
FHBA-sponsored Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) and FGBC-sponsored
GreenTrends will be held jointly on July 11-14, 2007 at the
Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. Delegates to
the expanded conference will experience over 1,000 exhibits,
including a section of the exposition hall devoted to green
building products and services. Over 65 seminars and intensive
workshops are planned, with special emphasis on “All
the Right Moves” for quality, durability and the environment.
These educational programs will provide an excellent way for
attendees to learn more about green building, while earning
professional CEU credits in the process. During SEBC, FGBC
and FHBA will also be co-hosting our annual GreenTrends Reception
and FGBC will be holding its Annual Meeting of the Membership.
These events will provide excellent opportunity for us to network
with other green building professionals here in Florida.
We believe this is a great opportunity for everyone who chooses
to participates in the conference. For FGBC, it gives us the
opportunity to promote green building to a broader audience as
SEBC attracts 16,000 housing professionals to its trade show
and educational programs. FGBC will have a booth in the GreenTrends
section of the exhibit hall, which will be staffed by FGBC member
volunteers. This co-location agreement adds another dimension
to the FHBA-FGBC partnership, which was created in 2006 to produce
and promote a uniform set of Green Building standards for the
state of Florida. You will be hearing a lot more about SEBC/GreenTrends
2007 in the coming months, but go ahead and save the dates on
your planning calendar. |
