November 14, 2025 – Washington D.C. 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 sustainable design strategies.

Why Green Infrastructure Matters in Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. has been a national leader in implementing green infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on green roofs to meet its ambitious stormwater management goals. As part of the District’s MS4 Permit requirements, the city has promoted green roofs to reduce runoff and improve water quality in the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. With hundreds of green roofs already installed across government, commercial, and residential buildings, Washington D.C. serves as a model for how vegetative roofing can support climate adaptation, urban cooling, and public health. The Grey to Green conference in Washington D.C. will highlight successful projects, policy frameworks, and technical innovations that are driving green roof adoption in the nation's capital.

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.
