As I’ve mentioned before, the heavy fall line-up of conferences is here!  Get ready for some awesome speakers, networking, and travel!

For those of us here in North America, the one surely not to be missed is the 10th Annual CitiesAlive Green Roof & Wall Conference – the one that started it all – in beautiful Chicago, Illinois this October 17-20 2012.

As usual, programming at CitiesAlive features the leading experts from green roof and wall design, policy and research, plus engaging ‘On the Roof With’ sessions that bring living architecture to life.  In addition to inspiring plenaries, top-notch presentations, fantastic receptions, a record-setting Rise of Living Architecture Commemorative Edition book-signing – of which, by the way, I’m very proud to be included – and trade show, you can add in professional training workshops and inspirational green roof and wall tours to make your CitiesAlive 2012 experience unforgettable.

Aramis and I, along with many of our Contributing Editors will be hand, either speaking, exhibiting, taking a course, or just joining in the fun of going on the tours and, of course, networking!   For example, now for the 6^th year, Haven Kiers and I will be delivering our fast-paced and fun 2012 Top 10 Hot Trends in Greenroof & Greenwall Design – see the entire Agenda here.

If you haven’t already done so, make sure to read our Guest Feature Article this month by Steven Peck, GRP, Honorary ASLA, and Founder and President of Green Roofs for Healthy Cities entitled “10th Anniversary – CitiesAlive Returns to Chicago To Celebrate and Plan Ahead.”
