Energy conservation and generation have emerged as key elements of the nation’s agenda, as well as in the real estate and tech industries. We’re proud to present a keynote address by Gary Saulson, PNC Bank’s Director of Corporate Real Estate focused on their new building at 800 17th Street/PNC Place which promises to be a landmark building in DC and is aiming for LEED Platinum certification. PNC has built more LEED certified buildings than any company in the world, and Gary will deliver the corporate end user perspective addressing how PNC has made going green work for them. Our panel is comprised of top experts from Clean Currents, Valley Crest, accounting firm Reznick and law firm Pillsbury, who will tackle the issues in more detail. For those interested in renewable energy, this is a must attend event. And, as always, a great chance for networking. We hope to see you there!
