Hi Keith,

Thanks for the comment. I’ve never done one of the half day sessions, but have heard good things. That one in particular sounds very interesting. I hope it works well for you. You’re right, the after hours events are a great place to meet like minded people with fascinating backgrounds. I haven’t planned any this year other than an exhibitor sponsored reception Tuesday night. I usually wait till the event and figure those out on the spot. If I hear of any that sound good, I’ll post something here and tweet about it. Take care, travel safe, and see you there.

I will be in Phoenix for the conference representing the A|E firm I work at. I am personally looking forward to the half day workshop that I signed up for called “Operational Approach to Sustainability: How to actually implement a sustainability program in your organization.”. There is also a meet and greet on Thursday with the current and candidate officers of USGBC. Hopefully I can find that one and get in the door.
Do you know of any after hours events going on? I went to GB2007 and got into some. One was at SOM on Michigan avenue, and the other was at one of the sponsor hotels. I met more people at those events that at the rest of the conference.
See you at the conference!

I hope you will get a chance to stop by the Mariah Power booth to see a fully operational Windspire vertical wind turbine. We will be at booth #1365.

So true Jenny. Thanks for reminding me. I’ve been to all of the FLW sites in the area, but my partner has not. So we may need to find a little time for a few. I also forgot Cosanti – a wonderful little complex of organic buildings. I’ve been there many times before, but I love visiting to see new bells or ceramic work. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.
