To download a request for proposals, those interested in making presentations at the conference can click here. Proposals must be submitted by Sept. 1. “With more than a thousand industry professionals, government officials and academic experts expected at this year’s conference, submitting a speaking proposal can be one of your most important business opportunities for 2005,” said Eric S. Borsting, chairman of the 2005 NAHB National Green Building Conference and the NAHB Energy Subcommittee. “Sessions should be challenging for attendees and encourage creative thinking about new and innovative ways to build and remodel more homes green.” Proposals will be evaluated on their relevance to green building, the timeliness of the topic, their practical application and the speaker’s qualifications. Successful respondents will be notified by Oct. 15.{{TOPAD}} NAHB is hosting its seventh annual green building conference in conjunction with Greenprints, the Southeast’s premier green building event sponsored by Atlanta-based Southface Energy Institute. The collaboration between NAHB and Southface will provide an opportunity for sharing cutting-edge green building practices that are tailored to home building industry attendees. “The upcoming green building conference will highlight environmentally friendly, resource-efficient solutions for homes around the country,” said Mark Fitzgerald, executive vice president of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. “The conference also will allow Atlanta to shine in the success of its own green building program.” Noting that the Atlanta metropolitan area is projected to grow by 2.5 million people over the next 25 years, Fitzgerald said that, “it is essential to conserve our area’s natural resources to accommodate this growth. Constructing more green homes in Atlanta will certainly help contribute to this effort.” For more information about making a presentation at the 2005 National Green Building Conference, e-mail John Loyer or call him at 800-362-5242 x8303.
