Getting to Zero Forum - Anyone going?

The Getting to Zero Forum is happening next week in Minneapolis, Minnesota (my home state!). Anyone else from this group planning to attend in person? I'm especially curious as the Forum comes so quickly on the heals of the Living Future Conference.

As a proud Minnesotan, I have a hard time imagining how anyone could ignore an opportunity to come visit ;-)

Alex Wilson, Founder of BuildingGreen, will be speaking at The Getting to Zero Forum. For anyone who will be attending, his session is from 4:15 to 5:45 on Wednesday, May 12th. It’s the first breakout session after the opening plenary. Below is the description and presenters. Feel free to go up afterward and introduce yourself. He will be very glad to meet anyone who is a Peer Network member! Building Communities that Survive and Thrive (1.5 AIA LU|HSW CEUs) Room: Ballroom 4 The built environment encompasses much more than glass, concrete, and I-beams, which is why targeting net zero carbon is not enough. Even when constructed to meet high performance standards, the built environment can impact health outcomes and exacerbate inequality. This session presents resiliency strategies that range from design interventions on the building scale to thinking about critical services like healthcare and protecting vulnerable populations. Presenters will uncover intersections of health, equity, and resiliency that position communities to thrive while advancing decarbonization goals.
