Learn your way: Multiple formats, same CE value

Not everyone learns in the same way. That's why Greenbuild offers CE hours across multiple formats designed for different learning preferences and schedules:

Pre-conference workshops provide deep-dive, hands-on training where you can work through complex concepts with extended time and expert facilitators.

Educational tours take you beyond theory into real-world applications. Visit cutting-edge green buildings in New York City and earn credits while seeing sustainable design principles in action.

Summit programs offer focused, intensive content on specialized topics, connecting you with niche communities within the broader green building field.

Core conference sessions deliver the flexibility to build your own learning path across hundreds of topics, from traditional presentations to interactive panel discussions.

Whether you prefer immersive experiences, interactive workshops, traditional presentations or building meaningful connections with peers to share knowledge and gain insights from real-world experiences, you'll earn the same valuable CE hours while engaging with content in the format that works best for you.

Learning that applies to your work

Every session is curated by industry advisory groups who understand what you're dealing with on actual projects. The content focuses on practical applications in sustainability, resilience, health and wellness for the spaces where we live, work, learn and play.

You're learning from peers who are developing next-generation standards, policies and partnerships that will shape the industry's future. The insights you gain apply directly to your current projects.

Strategic professional development

Think about your typical year: Searching for webinars, fitting in online courses between meetings, hoping you'll accumulate enough credits before your certification renewal deadline. Greenbuild eliminates that stress.

By consolidating hundreds of accredited sessions in one location, you can strategically plan your four days to fulfill your annual requirements while focusing on topics most relevant to your work.

The USGBC partnership advantage

Greenbuild is presented in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, ensuring every CE opportunity meets the highest standards for quality and relevance to sustainable building practices.
