As I sit here packing my things for my trip to Boston and the 2008 GreenBuild show, I have high expectations. I can remember five years ago, when this conference/tradeshow was in Pittsburgh. Then, this show was considered an interesting “up and comer” - and boy did it ever come up! With 22,700 registered attendees and 874 booths (compared to to 5,200 registrants and 400 booths in 2003), this show went from a backyard fire pit to a four-alarm blaze in record speed. So I'm off to witness another record-breaking GreenBuild, and will give a full report when I return.
