The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) fifth annual conference and expo, Building Innovation 2017, will be held in Washington, D.C., from January 9 to 12. Located at the Mandarin Oriental, the conference will provide many opportunities for building professionals to expand their skill and knowledge repertoires.<\/p>\n

Educational sessions focusing on a wide variety of topics will take place over the course of the expo. These sessions will be arranged according to a balanced schedule that optimizes attendees\u2019 ability to choose the topics most relevant to their careers and personal interests.<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s Building Innovation event, NIBS issued an open call for presenters for the first time. It received a flood of abstracts in response, totaling more than 150 submissions. This massive response provided the planning team with the varied topics that give its selection-based scheduling style its appeal, allowing them to capitalize on the exposition theme, \u201cCollaborating for a High-performance Future.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Industry leaders will deliver addresses, and two awards ceremonies can be attended at the Institute Annual Awards Banquet on January 11, and the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC) \u201cBeyond Green\u201d Awards Luncheon the next day.<\/p>\n
