Chicago, IL

The Building Clean 2019 summit will look at the impact buying locally made and healthier building products has on the economy and your community.

While focusing on the built environment, we will look at both those who implement buy local and buy healthy principles and those impacted by them. We will have participants and speakers from many different arenas, including higher education, government, procurement, utilities, corporations, manufacturing, housing, construction, architecture, and more.

This is a great chance to learn how others within and outside of your industry are approaching the procurement of locally made and/or healthier materials. You'll also hear about free resources to help locate the products you need. There will be plenty of time for networking during breaks and a reception following the program.
