Institute to Hold Independent Conference in 2013

For the past three years…the National Institute of Building Sciences has been a sponsor of the Ecobuild America Conference…This has been an enjoyable and mutually beneficial experience, which has provided opportunities for the Institute to work with other organizations … We thank AEC Science & Technology, the producer of Ecobuild America, for the opportunities it has provided the Institute and for our shared successes ... However, it is in the best interest of the Institute that we now separate our meetings and provide a new, independent venue for our programs.

In January 2013, the Institute will hold its Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet as part of a new, free-standing event…This conference will include those programs the Institute and its councils previously held during the past several years at Ecobuild America, and continue to provide training and educational offerings…Building Innovation 2013: The National Institute of Building Sciences Annual Conference and Expo is scheduled for January 7-10, 2013, in Washington, D.C. The theme of the conference will be “Improving Resiliency through High Performance…” We hope you will plan to join us in what we expect will be a successful and exciting program of events.
