Although not really a convention-type person, I must say thatGreenbuild 2008 was quite enjoyable.  By official count, it appearsthat 29,752 people attended, which is absolutely phenomenal.  Theresseriously something, I dont know, magical, for lack of a better word,about being surrounded by such diverse people with a similar interestin green building.  I spent the entire time talking with and learningfrom those around me -- which is why I certainly plan to attend nextyear.  If you werent able to attend, youll be able to catch somevideos on Greenbuild365 in the future.  In the mean time, Ive listed a few news tidbits that you may find interesting:
