2008 Greenbuild Update - Boston

After another attendance to the Greenbuild conference, this time in Boston, I am glad to report of the success of the conference.

First, a note on the exhibitor space. The floor has grown once again in size from the previous year. It is observed with great pleasure that more vendors as well as more variety within the different fields was represented. One area that I was particularly thrilled with was the availability of LED lighting. Numerous vendors specializing in this field as well as other that are adding a line to their exiting offerings displayed their products. Implementing these lights will be very exciting.
The Boston Convention center has two very clever designed bridges crossing the floor allowing for a spectacular overview of it. At any given time it was filled. I am certain most vendors will call it a success.

As for the lectures, I was a little disappointed. The presenters were good but the content was lacking a bit of cutting edge for my taste. Much of the information presented was all too familiar for me. Maybe I just choose the wrong lectures. I am also sure that most attendees found the information rather stimulating.

Various organizations organized numerous tours of Boston, a very interesting city indeed. Personally, I attended the Boston Harbor Cruise. A very educating three hour ride through the harbor area to also feature two wind turbines.
Thank you to everyone that helped to organize the event and we will see you all again next year.
