Boston is in the enviable position of being the host city of not one, but six major professional building and renewable-energy conferences in 2008! This once-in-a-lifetime convergence of key regional and national organizations brings national and international experts to our fair city, focusing on energy, green education, advances in building practices, and practical actions for today and tomorrow. There is growing excitement among professionals, building owners and consumers who are interested in clean, renewable energy, sustainable buildings and the newest technologies and policies that are informing how we design, how we build and how we live. Come to a city of champions! Successful sports teams are joined by another kind of champion, a strong mayor who is leading the charge toward urban greening. Mayor Thomas Menino is vigorously promoting the implementation of green principles throughout the Boston area. Come join the action, as we address the challenges of carbon emissions and climate change and work together toward a healthy, sustainable future.
