Dear
colleagues,
Amidst the cold and the rain, it's time to start planning for
conferences in warmer weather! While there are a lot of great ones in
2016 - see them all in
Upcoming Events - these are the ones where I'll be speaking:
first up on June 1-4 is the
4th Annual Grey To Green Conference: Addressing Climate
Change with Green Infrastructure at Ryerson University in Toronto,
organized by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and the Green Infrastructure
Foundation. My new presentation is "Top 10 Green Infrastructure
Eco-Agents in a Climate-Changing World" which begs the question, How
does the design world combat climate change, deteriorating landscapes,
and our ever-growing population? On October 19-20 is the
World Green Infrastructure Congress 2016 in Bogota, Colombia
presented by WGIN, the World Green Infrastructure Network, where I'll
present our 2016 Top 10 List of Hot Trends in Greenroof & Greenwall
Design solo. If we're selected again, on November 1-4 Haven Kiers
and I will be at the
CitiesAlive 2016 Conference in Washington, DC where we hope to
showcase amazing projects from our Top 10 List from across the world
together. Don't forget this Friday, February 26 is the deadline for the
CitiesAlive 2016 Call for Paper and Poster Abstracts!
There are 2
new great books available - see Exclusives below and we have to give a
shout out to
American Hydrotech: If you're in the job market in the Chicago
area, make sure you consider their 4 new job postings below - good luck!
