In the midst of a green industry boom, NESEA is the long term leader in Sustainable Building Practices, having run this conference continuously, each year, since the mid-1970�s. �My first one was in 1980.�
BE Brings together the Northeast�s greatest minds who actually have been making buildings better, many of them for decades.� �
There are 24 full or half day workshops on Tuesday, from introductory to advanced levels (in the classroom and in the field), and many of them fill up early.� There are 9 full tracks on Wednesday and Thursday, highlighting sustainable building practices in both new and existing residential, multifamily, commercial and institutional buildings, as well as renewables, mechanicals, materials, policy, and learning the process of sustainability in buildings.
�

More than anything, NESEA is a networking Mecca, where the participants are constantly interacting.� There are comfortable breaks between sessions, a large open exhibition floor, and evening events on Tuesday and Wednesday to meet the speakers, exhibitors, and fellow attendees who share your sustainable interests.�
In the past 30 years, NESEA has provided me with mentors, jobs, the best employees and professional contacts I ever found, access to the true leaders in the field, mentees, and now, many friends. �The NESEA community is the most welcoming of any conference that I attend.

It�s easy to get to by AMTRAK or commuter train from Boston South Station (we have walked to the Seaport World Trade Center from there, less than one mile); the Conference Center and Hotel have been working with NESEA over the last five years to green all of their practices, and they do it better every year.
I urge you to reserve your room today (before they sell out, they will) and register right away, as the early bird registration rates end in four short weeks.�
