Greenbuild offers exhibitors the chance to connect with hundreds of media outlets including trade press, local and national publications, and TV and radio. The show also includes an opening reception in the exhibit hall, special promotions, exhibitor presentations, and dedicated exhibit hall hours to ensure that you have numerous opportunities to connect with our attendees.

Here are some easy ways to increase your company’s visibility and outreach:

Exhibitor presentations

Greenbuild attendees rank the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge services, technologies, and products among the top benefits of attendance. In keeping with this year’s conference theme, Revolutionary Green: Innovations for Global Sustainability, the Greenbuild Program Committee is seeking proposals for exhibitor demonstrations of new products, processes, services, or technologies that promote higher levels of building performance. All Greenbuild 2008 exhibitors are eligible to apply. For more information on the submission process download the official call for submittals.

Display your press materials in the press room

All exhibitors are welcome to display press kits and other media information in the Press Room prior to the show; USGBC recommends about 30-40 media kits per company. The press room is located within the exhibit hall and exhibitors can also drop off their media related material to the press room anytime after 4:00pm on Monday, November 17, 2008.

Set up a booth side briefing

Exhibitors are encouraged to set up booth side media briefings during the show. In addition, there is a press conference room available for more formal gathering. Please contact akatz@usgbc.org to reserve the room, which is available for no additional fee for exhibitors.

Morning press briefings

Morning press briefings will take place each morning in the press room. Please email akatz@usgbc.org if your company plans to hold any press events or activities that should be mentioned during the briefing to ensure they are on the media’s schedule. Press information will also be posted on a white board in the press room.

Prior to the show, exhibitors are also welcome to send any relevant press information to USGBC for inclusion in USGBC’s media outreach. Send your 50 word piece to akatz@usgbc.org before October 29, 2008.
