To say that greening federal agencies is difficult would be a huge understatement. The size and scope of the many agencies’ activities make greening the federal government essentially a pilot program for greening the country. But to say that good information on sustainability and a forum to exchange green ideas doesn’t exist would also be a huge understatement. GOVgreen is what agency professionals are looking for: a conference that combines practical sessions with compelling speakers, a green products exhibition, and networking opportunities for cross-agency interaction.
A GOVgreen attendee could spend the morning of Nov. 9th learning about building retrofits and high-performance buildings, then spend part of the afternoon digging deeper into water conservation and wastewater management, and walk away with a a lot of great sustainability ideas. That would be great, but GOVgreen goes one step further. In the second afternoon session, the attendee could finish the day in the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing and Contracting session and learn how to make the building and water improvements a reality.
We think that’s the power and value of GOVgreen, and we can’t wait to see you there on Nov. 9 and 10.
