Greenbuild's Advisory Groups

Did you know Greenbuild was made for the industry by the industry?

There are various ways industry experts contribute to the sessions and educational programming to drive the green building industry forward.

Greenbuild Advisory Groups

Greenbuild relies on the unique knowledge & experience of industry professionals to contribute to the educational programming, networking opportunities and overall event experience that drive our industry forward.

Program Working Group

The Program Working Group oversees delivery of educational programming intended to meet the needs of attendees to the annual Greenbuild International Conference & Expo. Members review sessions in all rounds of review for Greenbuild, nominate and collaborate with Subject Matter Experts, and liaise with session presenters.

Session Reviewers

Greenbuild's peer reviewers assist with reviewing all of the submissions of speakers and session proposals. Each year, we seek industry volunteers to review session proposals, and this year a dedicated group of reviewers worked with our Program Working Group for the 2026 conference in New York City.
