The 2008 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo has been selected by Tradeshow Week, the premier news magazine of the exhibition industry, as one of the 50 fastest growing trade shows in the U.S. and Canada. Greenbuild 2008 was held in Boston and drew more than 28,000 attendees and featured 800 exhibit booths.

"We are humbled to be recognized for the fourth year in a row, especially during a time of economic uncertainty," said Kimberly Lewis, Vice President, USGBC. "Greenbuild continues to grow in both size and offerings, demonstrating not only that the green economy is alive, it’s thriving.”

Greenbuild is the largest gathering of representatives from all sectors of the green building movement and is the three time recipient of IMEX Green Meetings Award. Winners of the Fastest 50 must qualify as either a trade, association or consumer show and must also demonstrate growth from 2006 to 2008. Greenbuild 2008 will be formally recognized by Tradeshow Week at an awards ceremony this November in Houston.
