Free in NYC? This ITAC-sponsored April 27th Green Building Workshop in New York looks like something other cities might want. It's designed for professionals in the building construction supply chain: those who design, make, and service "green" building materials, contract furniture, carpeting, paints, lighting fixtures and so on. Its purpose is to help them understand the opportunity to design and market products to the growing market for green buildings. Attendees get a LEED overview, followed by a discussion of five strategies that businesses can use to design greener products. The Curriculum reviews life cycle assessment and green marketing so attendees can learn how to make sure their products will be accepted by potential customers. Thanks to the sponsor, HSBC, the price is right! Pre-registration is required at this link.
