I'm pumped. Of course it's difficult not to be pumped after the opening Plenary Session at the GreenBuild expo in Chicago. It also isn't difficult for me to be pumped in general, I'm an excitable guy.
We got to listen to some excellent speeches from Rich Feduzzi, the President and founder of the USGBC, Autodesk's own Phil Bernstein, and former President Bill Clinton. There was also some very moving spoken word poetry by an incredible youth named George. It was a very inspiring morning, and really motivated me even more to do what I can to impact the implementation of Sustainable Development practices.
For those of you that could not attend GreenBuild, I recommend that you check out the newly released website GreenBuild365, which will contain videos of the speeches as well as other content. Looks pretty slick to me.
Autodesk has already made a commitment to Sustainability, and we are actively working with a number of groups to better understand the requirements of the market, and deliver the best possible solutions to support it. This is something that really excites me, and makes me proud to be part of an organization actively influencing this important movement. It helps to make the crazy hours worthwhile as we build towards a meaningful end goal.
I'm finding it incredibly interesting to participate in discussions about Sustainability at the Autodesk Booth, as well as just get some Revit MEP feedback. I'm also really looking forward to attending some breakout sessions on specific Sustainability topics. I'll check in on those later.
