Greening the Heartland 2013

Save the Date! 

September 9-10, 2013

Scranton-Gillette Communications / SGC Horizon and the U.S. Green Building Council – Illinois Chapter (USGBC-Illinois) in conjunction with the USGBC Heartland Regional Council announced plans to co-locate their events in 2013, BUILDINGChicago and Greening the Heartland respectively.  “After looking at the complementary nature of our two events,” explained Harry Urban, VP of Events for SGC, “both groups decided it would bring added value to attendees and exhibitors to schedule our 2013 events in the same location.”  The co-located events will be held at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza.

Greening the Heartland (GTH), USGBC’s annual Midwest event, will be held September 9 and 10, followed by BUILDINGChicago, September 10-12.  “We are excited to be working with SGC with their extensive background in providing quality education through BD+C University,” said Katie Kaluzny, Interim Executive Director U.S. Green Building Council – Illinois Chapter.

She added, “The GTH track will be extended to run through the BUILDINGChicago conference offering added opportunities for sharing green building best practices and continuing education for LEED Accredited Professionals. We also plan to create new events within our schedules to allow both groups to share their experiences and do some networking.” Read More Here.
