Illinois Green Alliance Call for Education Proposals 2027

Illinois Green Alliance's Programs Committee is excited to announce the Call for Education Proposals 2027!

About Illinois Green Educational Programs:

Illinois Green seeks to increase industry knowledge on the path to decarbonizing new and old buildings through programs that empower others to take action. Our programs strive to inform professionals from all industries interested in green building (building owners, managers, engineers, designers, occupants, and more) by creating programs around:

Shared best practices around high performance and healthy buildings.
Challenges and successes that move the green building market and policies toward a net zero future in Illinois.
Removing barriers to implementation of building decarbonization.
Demonstrating how high performance technology and building methods are attainable in Illinois

We encourage sessions to call on a diverse panel of experts and promote dialogue about the subject matter between panelists and audience members. The programs committee will assist in diversifying speakers if a panel includes multiple speakers from one company/affiliation. Accepted programs may be adjusted at the committee's discretion to better serve our audience and align with our mission.

If you have questions about your proposal or the submission process, please contact mwright@illinoisgreenalliance.org

Deadline for proposal submission is October 23rd @ 11:59 PM.
