As the social media manager for Greenbuild, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how our community comes together year after year to drive meaningful change in the green building industry. The connections made, knowledge shared, and innovations discovered at Greenbuild continue to inspire me, and I can't wait to see all of you in Los Angeles this November!

With preview rates ending May 30th at 11:59 ET, I wanted to share my top 10 reasons why securing your spot early for Greenbuild 2025 is an opportunity you'll want to consider:

#1. Connect with 10,000+ Green Building Professionals

Our community includes over 10,000 sustainability leaders from 59+ countries. The relationships you'll build at Greenbuild can lead to collaborations that transform our industry and your career. Whether you're looking for project partners, mentors or simply like-minded professionals who share your passion for this industry, Greenbuild creates the perfect environment for meaningful connections that last well beyond the event itself.

#2. Explore 250+ Cutting-Edge Exhibitors

Our Expo Hall will showcase 250+ exhibitors with the latest sustainable building innovations. Our community members consistently tell us that discovering these solutions is one of their favorite aspects of the Greenbuild experience. From revolutionary building materials to advanced energy systems, water conservation technologies to indoor air quality solutions, the Expo Hall is where theory meets practical application. Many attendees tell us they find products and services that immediately impact their current projects.

#3. Global Representation from 59+ Countries

The diversity of our community, with members from 59+ countries, creates a truly global perspective on sustainability challenges and solutions that you simply can't find anywhere else. This international knowledge exchange allows you to learn how different regions are addressing climate resilience, resource efficiency and social equity in their built environments. The cross-cultural insights gained at Greenbuild often spark innovative approaches to common challenges.

#4. Comprehensive Certification Resources

Greenbuild is CE-rich, offering approved GBCI, AIA, IDCEC and Phius credits across most education sessions. With a Conference Pass, you can earn one credit per hour of education for live sessions and Expo Hall Education Labs. GBCI credits cover General CE, including accreditations for LEED, WELL, SITES, and more, while AIA sessions qualify for General Learning Units (LU) or Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW). The event also supports credential maintenance for design professionals through IDCEC and provides introductory passive building content for Phius professionals. Credits are automatically reported for most certifications when you include your membership numbers during registration, making it simple to maintain your professional credentials while expanding your knowledge base.

#5. Groundbreaking Educational Content

Our community-driven educational sessions cover the topics that matter most: LEEDv5, Passive House principles, resilience strategies, health and wellness integration and more. These sessions are designed for professionals at every career stage, ensuring you'll find content that addresses your specific challenges and opportunities. The education program is carefully curated to balance cutting-edge innovation with practical, applicable knowledge you can implement immediately.

#6. Los Angeles Convention Center Location

This November 4-7, 2025, our community will gather at the Los Angeles Convention Center, a vibrant hub for innovation and sustainability in one of America's most dynamic cities. Los Angeles itself serves as a living laboratory for sustainable urban development, with numerous exemplary green buildings and infrastructure projects throughout the city. The convention center's central location provides easy access to public transportation and is surrounded by restaurants, accommodations and entertainment options for after-hours networking.
