2023 Built Green Conference Session Proposal Form

The Built Green conference is on September 14th at Lynnwood Event Center, from 7:30am - 6:00pm.

Sessions selected will be scheduled between 10:00am-4:00pm. This form is required for all those who are seeking to offer a session at the Built Green conference. Only submit ONE form per session. Submissions must be received by 11:59pm May 19th, 2023.


All sessions are 60 minutes in length, including Q & A time. Not all speakers/panelists must be listed at time of submission, up to two additional speakers may be added if your session proposal is selected. No session may be more than 3-4 people.


Looking for sessions that educate about green building in the topics of:

  • Cutting-edge building and material science
  • Implementable progressive policy
  • Measuring carbon in buildings
  • Innovative remodeling
  • Green workforce development
  • Market-defining real estate trends
  • Affordably delivering housing
  • Inspiring change or leadership


Proposals will be judged on:

  • Persuasive and practical information based on experience
  • Innovation and originality in approach, ideas, policies, or programs
  • Established expertise in the proposed topic and demonstrated skills in dynamic public presentation
  • The ability of the speaker(s) and topic to amplify voices of communities historically underrepresented in green building discussions.
  • Project case studies are not limited to Built Green projects
  • Priority will be given to those who have not previously spoken at a Built Green Conference.


Please note that session proposals may be combined into a panel or roundtable session if the content aligns and would be conducive to such a format.


If the session is selected, session providers will receive a complimentary conference ticket.
