Preparing for Greenbuild
How do I build a custom schedule via the show app?
Step 1: Download the mobile app: search “Greenbuild” in the App Store or Google Play Store to download. Log in with the email used at registration.
- App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6460303053
- Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapcard.apps.android.greenbuild
Step 2: Navigate to the Agenda from the Home Screen. Then, you can browse all of Greenbuild's sessions available by your pass type. In the top right of each session, tap the bookmark button to add the session to your schedule. It will then appear in "My Schedule" on the Home Screen.
Important Notes:
*If you do not have the Conference Pass, you will only see the sessions offered in the Expo Hall that do not carry CE.
*You can only sign up for Workshops and Summits through our registration system. To register for Workshops / Summits or to make changes to your selections, sign into your account with the email/password created at registration. You can log in here: https://greenbuild.informaconnect.com/2024/registrations/ATTENDEE
Do I need to register for sessions this year?
Yes! To register for sessions, download the show app on your phone (refer to point above), and add the session to "My Schedule." This will hold your place in the session.
If a session says "full", the Greenbuild conference will allow anyone with the correct pass type into the session 5 minutes before the start if there are no-shows or open seats available.
Most sessions will be recorded to view after the event, so no worries if a session fills up. We'll try to make sure you can watch!
How should I prepare for attending Greenbuild?
We have a guide for first-time attendees (and a refresher for past attendees), with everything you need to know from what to wear, what to bring, and everything in between!
Does Greenbuild offer a discount on hotel rooms?
Yes! If you book with our travel partner, you can score discounts on your hotel lodging.
I'm traveling from outside the U.S., can I get a letter for my visa?
Yes, international attendees can request a visa letter. To request a visa letter, you must register for the event and select "Request Visa Letter", and a PDF of the visa letter will be included with your confirmation via email. If your visa application does not go through or is denied, contact info@greenbuildexpo.com for assistance.
We also have a resource hub for all international attendees with more details and helpful tips.
What is the cancelation policy?
Paid Greenbuild tickets are non-refundable. No refunds or exchanges will be made for pass downgrades, carbon offsets or donations. However, you may transfer your registration to another member of your organization with a letter identifying the person taking your place or choose to roll your registration over to the following year. Rollovers are only valid for the 2025 event, they cannot be applied towards another year. Substitution Requests & Roll Overs are subject to a $49 processing fee and must be received at least 30 days in advance of the event. Submit your Substitution Request to registration@greenbuildexpo.com.
At the Show
Will there be a coat check?
Yes, we will also offer a coat/bag check near the registration desk for your convenience.
Do I need to sign up for sessions?
Back for 2024, Greenbuild will be allowing attendees to pre-register for sessions. By adding the session to your agenda in the mobile app, you will be reserving your seat for the session. The mobile app and agenda will be live in late September. If you pre-registered for a Summit or a Workshop, those will already be added to your agenda.
Your reservation will expire and access to the session will open for attendees with the appropriate pass type 5 minutes before the session is scheduled to begin.
Do I need to self-report my CEUs?
The Greenbuild team will report your credits on your behalf. Before each session, you'll scan you badge at the entry so that we can keep track of which sessions you attend.
Allow for 2 weeks after the event for the credits to appear in your USGBC account.
I'm looking to visit a specific company, where I can I find them?
You can browse our exhibitor list and view our floor plan for navigating the expo hall.
After the Show
How do I download my certificate of attendance for my continuing education (CE) credits?
Instructions for downloading your Greenbuild 2023 certificate was sent to the email used at registration. If you did not receive an email, please contact our program team at program@greenbuildexpo.com.
Other information is available on continuing education credits here.
Can I receive the presentation slides from a session I attended?
We have a task for speakers to opt-in or opt-out of making their presentation slides available to attendees. Not every session will have slides available to download as not every presenter gave us permission to share them. The speakers that did will have slides available within a couple of weeks after the show.
In the online platform, there is a section below the session description that will have them to download.
Do I have access to session recordings?
For attendees with the Conference Pass, you'll have access to the video library of Greenbuild track sessions for 3 months after the event. For access to recorded sessions for the full year, or if you don't have the Conference Pass, you can purchase the Streamly Knowledge Library add-on.
*Greenbuild anticipates recording all track sessions; however, in case of unforeseen circumstances (technological or otherwise) recording of a particular session cannot be guaranteed.
