INTRODUCTION

The REBUILD Conference is a one-day, regional event for the Midwest’s community of purpose-driven leaders and sustainability advocates. The Conference features three keynote speakers complemented by three sets of breakout tracks that focus on net positive solutions, operational resiliency, innovation, and lessons learned in the built environment. We invite you to share your most impactful stories to help REBUILD the Midwest into a stronger region.   

CONFERENCE THEME

Communities, companies, and cities alike are looking for  a change, a change away from carbon.  With limited resources and  unpredictable outcomes, addressing the effects of carbon may appear daunting. As leaders in the built  environment, we have a responsibility to spearhead this change and work towards the  greater good. New technologies and collective efforts are on the horizon—  opportunities await us! By coming together, change is conceivable; we gain the tools  needed to address the realities of carbon and rebuild the future. The 2023 REBUILD Conference is your opportunity to hear from REAL PEOPLE, investigate REAL DATA, and make REAL CHANGE.
