The basics

West Coast Green is a conference for businesses, builders and designers to connect, share best practices, and expand their visions. It features over 100 presenters, 300+ exhibitors and around 11,000 attendees. Industry leaders, entrepreneurs and government leaders alike gather to help drive the success of the cities of the future. This year, the theme is “the intersection of the built environment and technology.”

Highlights

West Coast Green has received kudos in the past for going above and beyond the average conference experience, in addition to being a good place to meet members from the industry. Another participant called it California’s most comprehensive green building show.

This year, the conference features such luminaries as Hunter Lovins, Eric Corey Freed, Michelle Kauffman and William McDonough, and panels on everything from developing integrated cities to green purchasing behavior, from passive houses to intelligent transportation.
