Sponsorship Opportunities
Below please find a list of sponsorship opportunities that are still available. For more information on any of these items or other Greenbuild sponsorship opportunities, please contact us at sponsors@usgbc.org.
Networking Garden ($20,000):
By sponsoring the Networking Garden, the sponsoring company will work with one of the furniture manufacturers that has committed to providing seating and tables for this space (ie. Steelcase, Herman Miller, Haworth) to create a welcoming environment where conference attendees can relax or network with fellow attendees.
The sponsoring company will be recognized on signage within the Networking Garden and may display literature throughout the space. There are additional opportunities for the sponsoring company to present products with the space. For example, several companies in past years have featured products and models of projects currently under construction within the garden. Please inquire about such opportunities.
LEED Workshops - Full Day ($5,000) and Half Day ($2,500):
USGBC will offer both full day and half day LEED Workshops at Greenbuild on Tuesday, Nov. 6 (morning and afternoon) and Friday Nov. 9 (afternoon).
