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!
