August 15, 2025 – Denver Grey to Green Conference
Engage with leading professionals, researchers, and policymakers as we explore the latest innovations in green infrastructure. Through expert-led presentations, panel discussions, and case studies, attendees will gain valuable insights into climate resilience, urban biodiversity, and green infrastructure design strategies.
Why Green Infrastructure Matters in Denver
As a city with a semi-arid climate and growing urban footprint, Denver is at the forefront of integrating green infrastructure to combat heat, improve air quality, and enhance stormwater management. With policies like the Green Building Ordinance, Denver has demonstrated leadership in promoting green roofs, permeable landscapes, and sustainable green infrastructure design to create a more resilient city. Investing in green infrastructure is essential to maintaining water efficiency, urban cooling, and overall environmental health in the region.
This conference offers an unmatched opportunity to network with fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities in the rapidly growing green infrastructure sector. Attendees can earn up to 7 continuing education credits, making this a valuable experience for professional development.
