"This is a new and exciting opportunity for our exhibitors to connect with a global audience," said Rick Fedrizzi, USGBC President, CEO & Founding Chair. "Greenbuild's participation in the International Buyer Program solidifies green building as an important international agenda item, and the USGBC as a leading international proponent of green building."
The Greenbuild conference, in particular the exhibit hall, will be promoted via U.S. embassies, consulates and Commercial Service Posts worldwide, providing Greenbuild exhibitors with an unparalleled international marketing venue. The IBP will also survey Greenbuild exhibitors and international delegates regarding their purchasing and selling interests in order to match exhibitors with prospective buyers.
