Connect with the industry's best

Whether you're reconnecting with colleagues or meeting potential collaborators, you'll find the right people at the right time.
Learn what's next
The conference opens with Fareed Zakaria, CNN host and Washington Post columnist, connecting global trends in energy, urbanization and climate risk to the buildings and cities shaping our future. From there, over 100 sessions (with GBCI, AIA, and IDCEC CEs) will cover the topics defining the industry: climate resilience, strategic decarbonization, sustainable finance, material innovation and emerging technologies like AI in green building.
Pre-event Summits offer deep dives into specialized topics, while the co-located Sustainable Finance & Investing Forum brings together the entire capital stack to align investment strategies with sustainability goals.
