The 7th Annual Green Building Convention kicked off yesterday at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

The 2013 Annual Green Building Convention saw the world coming to Cape Town. This year the Green Building Council of Southern Africa is focusing on Africa.

The conference aims to highlight the richness and potential of the African continent and offers African and South African speakers who are pioneering the world.

The 2014 programme offers two days of selected keynote presentations and panel discussions. The successful Brainwave Stage from last year’s convention is back, and will host short, TED-like presentations from the green building community. This will all be enriched by an exhibition — created to encourage business to business opportunity, stimulate the green economy and inspire both our local and international colleagues

The convention also offers optional pre-conference education courses and programmes as well as building tours of Green Star SA certified buildings.
