Northwest Green Building Slam, November 7, Seattle, Washington
Event Description
This year’s event features the crowd-favorite Slam-style inspiration with 10 speakers with 10 slides for 10 minutes each with live-streaming. Get ready to be inspired as industry professionals showcase innovative, sustainable building projects in a fast-paced and engaging format.
10 SPEAKERS, 10 MINUTES, 10 SLIDES
That’s all there is to it: the Green Building Slam. A simple idea, started years ago, has transformed into one of the most fun and inspirational green building events of the year. Learn about 10 innovative, sustainable, high-performance “green” buildings that push the envelope in our built environment. Projects range from residential to multi-family to mixed use developments in the Pacific NW.
Each of the 10 juried presenters will have just 10 minutes to show us 10 slides of their exciting project as they explain what they learned, what they would do differently, and any other sustainable contributions that their project has made to our local community. Each presenter has been trained by a speech coach and is excited to share their project with the masses.
