Coming to Philadelphia is North America's only sustainable products, buildings, and vehicle training. This program is being conducted to increase market penetration of sustainable products and the subsequent global benefits. The event covers the rapidly growing market for sustainable products and familiarizes participants with product standards. Choosing sustainable products improves the environment, economy, and social equity.

Keynote Speaker is Jerry Sweeney, CEO, Brandywine Realty Trust. Brandywine Realty Trust has been a leader in green buildings and is a major building developer in the Delaware Valley including Cira Centre, a planned 28-story, 735,000 square-foot office tower at 30th Street Train Station.

Along with the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System, sustainable products and buildings are growing at a phenomenal 150% rate, creating substantial demand for credible product information! In just two years, LEED has captured 5% of the US commercial and government/ university market. Come see products such as carpets made from reused products, natural ingredient linoleum, and GM hybrid clean vehicles that greatly reduce fuel costs, tailpipe emissions, and materials!
