2014 CaGBC Conference Sponsorship · President and Chief Executive Officer, Canada Green Building Council PAGE 1. ... Media Edge Advertising Upgrades are Available to Enhance any

The Canada Green Building Council is a not-for-profit, national organization that has been working since 2002 to advance green building and sustainable community development practices in Canada. Together, with our members and industry network, the Council has made excellent inroads towards achieving our mission of reducing the environmental impact of the built environment.

Yet we know there is much more work to be done.

Each year, the CaGBC hosts an annual green building conference and expo that brings together industry experts and professionals to discuss industry developments, innovation and opportunities. With an end goal of moving the green building industry forward, Building Lasting Change is renowned for

quality education, valuable networking and many opportunities to connect with your stakeholders. In Toronto from June 2 to 4, 2014, the event will focus on the value of green building. Whether through increased productivity, energy or water savings, improved health and well-being, green buildings have an impact on Canadians’ quality of life every day.

Nowhere else in Canada can you reach an audience of this calibre including the decision makers and leading innovators of the green building industry. Sponsors of Building Lasting Change will benefit from pre-conference, on-site and post-event opportunities that can be leveraged to help you reach your own sustainability goals.

Together, we’ll make Every Building Greener.

Why Sponsor?Our 2013 conference survey informed us that 100 per cent of our sponsors felt the event met their overall objectives. We aim to continue this success with the same integrated and personal approach to sponsorship.

As a sponsor of this year’s national conference and expo you will be exposed to an audience of the leaders and decision makers of our industry. The event attracts over 1000 attendees, representing the entire diversity of green building in Canada – engineers, designers, architects, builders, property owners and managers as well as the next generation of green builders. This year, we hope to attract even more attendees with expanded education and networking offerings, a new international program and free access to a larger expo floor.

We hope you’ll join us in making this the most successful conference to date.

“Holcim Canada is a proud sponsor of Building Lasting Change. Since 2009 we have watched this national conference and expo grow into one of the most important green building industry events in Canada. As leaders in sustainable construction, we are always looking for creative platforms to reach this growing industry."- Junaina Saulat, Holcim Canada
