Budgeting for a Stand-alone Summit in 2020

Hi folks,

No details have been sorted out yet, but I wanted everyone to have a heads-up that the SCL Steering Group is proposing that we graduate to a full, stand-alone SCL Summit in 2020. (Until now we’ve been squeezing our Summit into the day before Greenbuild, which is good in some ways, but problematic in others—and limits our time together.)

We’re hoping we might be able to do the 2020 Summit in Chicago in the Summer, in conjunction with the big Sustainable Design Leaders Summit. We’re considering both a day-and-a-half Summit and then the option of joining a trainer-led workshop that would be shared with the SDL.

Much is yet TBD about that, but we wanted to put out word right away because a stand-alone Summit would add costs, and it would be great to get that included in your budget planning sooner rather than later. Just rough numbers, we’re thinking that the costs might be around $750-$950 for just the Summit, $900-$1200 for the Summit + workshop. All expenses (food, lodging) are included in these costs—but not your travel, of course.

We’re happy to get thoughts and reactions to this idea—either on this forum or us privately: roseann@buildinggreen.com; nadav@buildinggreen.com

And we’re looking forward to seeing many of you in a few weeks in Chicago—the one-day Summit we’ve planned for Nov 19 is coming together beautifully. We’ve also got the all-Peer Networks Show & Tell that evening, and a reception in the works. It’s not too late to sign up!

Yes, yes, yes!!! I do not attend Green Build because it does not offer me the education I want/need vs the cost I am paying. I have not seen anything “new” at GB for the past several years. I can attend 2 small conference for the same cost and get a much more needed diverse sustainability education. I vote yes!

I hope you mean you are excited to see us in ATLANTA in a few weeks....?? But, YES absolutely love the idea of heading to Chicago next summer to meet in a smaller group for a longer period of time.

We would also need a price point for people that would not need accommodations (numerous SCL groups members live in the Greater Chicagoland area).

Yes, ATLANTA—of course!! Thanks.

I completely agree with Jennifer's comment and would love to see this as a stand-alone. Unfortunately, I will miss the Nov 19th event, due to a conflict with a training in San Diego but I will connect with Kena before and after. Thanks for the heads up!
