The Rochester Green Business Network (RBGN) in conjunction with the U.S. Green Building Council NY Upstate Chapter will be hosting our annual Building the Triple Bottom Line Sustainable Business and Green Building Conference in downtown Rochester on April 29-30, 2008. This two-day event features nationally recognized speakers who will share innovative practices and lessons learned in implementing green into industrial, commercial and municipal operations. It is aimed at business leaders who are interested in learning more about incorporating sustainable green practices into business operations, and offers sessions for those new to green business as well as those further along in their sustainability journey. Building owners, developers and those in the building industry will benefit from multiple sessions on Day 1 detailing regional funding initiatives for green buildings and the nuts and bolts of green building practices, and Green Builder Contractor Training and LEED for New Construction Technical Review on Day 2. Municipal planners and officials will also benefit from sessions on initiatives planned and underway for greening Rochester area communities and operations.
