Aligned + Amplified
mindful MATERIALS at Greenbuild Nov. 12—15, 2024
Whether you’re new or you’ve been around the sustainable materials block a few times you’ve probably recognized that we’re all doing the same work, have the same goals, and are battling through the same challenges. And that all of our work would have more impact if we were on the same page. Join us as we convene people, align around a common language, and amplify a clear market signal. The most effective path to impact is one we take together.
mindful MATERIALS Pavilion @ Greenbuild
Join us in the mindful MATERIALS Pavilion, part of Greenbuild’s Exhibit Hall. The Pavilion features new product ideas, networking, and education. Meet key industry partners and explore the most cutting-edge products in the green building industry. Don’t forget to stop by the lounge for a hot cup of coffee or Grace Farms tea, or a little foosball action, thanks to our friends at MAPEI.
