The Greensite Luncheon and Forum, hosted by the editors of Concrete Construction and The Concrete Producer magazines, is a 2-hour program designed to allow contractors, producers and architects to share ideas on Sustainable Building. With the growing demand for greener construction techniques, this luncheon connects interested contractors with experienced green professionals who have surpassed these challenges.

Topics:
-- Current trends in sustainable design focusing on carbon-footprint, life cycle, and “cradle to cradle” design
-- New developments in sustainable contractor certification
-- Real-life examples of how to market the benefits of going green
-- A panel of contractors and architects will answer questions about the practical elements of concrete-related innovations and how they contribute to green construction
