Greenbuild is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. The ideals and passion of the green building community come alive at Greenbuild 2018. This year in Chicago, the buzz was contagious. Greenbuild brings together industry leaders, experts and frontline professionals dedicated to sustainable building in their everyday work, and a unique energy is sparked.

Some of the world’s most creative minds in architecture, design and building materials development met in New York City for the AIA Conference on Architecture.

In addition to show floor, attendees could choose from more than 160 educational seminars and workshops, and had access to one-of-a-kind tours of some of the city’s iconic buildings led by expert designers.

Jill Bloom, publisher of Roofing Contractor and sister publication Building Enclosure, was there and provided this exclusive photo gallery. Be sure to comment about your show highlight, if you were there.
