Building What’s Next: Scaling Climate Solutions in the Built Environment
In collaboration with Green Salvaged Materials, RBC, MaRS Discovery District and Urban Economy Forum, please join us for a day of bold conversations with industry leaders on accelerating climate action in the built environment.
From vision to execution, expect to hear from leading practitioners and thought leaders on how they’ve scaled climate strategies and projects, adopted cutting edge technologies, and incorporated circularity and the reuse of materials, all while driving profitability and stakeholder value. Also hear from policy makers and leaders, along with some of the top tech innovators in the industry.
The day will feature fast-paced and intelligent interviews, panels, tech showcases, and presentations. The day will kick off at 9:00am, and finish at 4:00pm. You can look forward to learning from these influential leaders (and many more):
