About the Conference

Greening the Heartland 2004: Beyond Sustainability is setting the stage as the region's leading green building and sustainability conference. It will include keynote sessions delivered from the nation's foremost sustainability thought leaders and a broad spectrum of concurrent sessions addressing key sustainability components that must be advanced as we continue our journey to a sustainable future.

We anticipate up to 1,000 attendees and 40-60 exhibitors for this two-day event. The conference will also feature six tracks with 36 breakout sessions dedicated to Design and Construction, Alternative and Renewable Energy, Regional Perspectives, Education, Health and Social Issues, and Government and Business. Pre-conference workshops will include Intermediate and Advanced LEED™ Workshops, a High Performance School Buildings Workshop and a Funding Green Buildings workshop. An optional half-day Government and Business Forum will conclude Friday's activities.
