Colleges and universities are incubators of innovation, tackling the biggest challenges of society through creative means. The 2013 Smart and Sustainable Campuses Conference provides the setting to learn, share and explore how campuses are using their passion for innovation to develop technologies, infrastructure, programs and curricula that address the world's most pressing sustainability challenges.

Join your colleagues and take an in-depth approach toward defining, understanding and creating solutions to sustainability issues facing our campuses. Longer, 80-minute sessions create environments ripe for dialogue, shared problem-solving, skill development and community building.

Our attendees included directors and staff from sustainability, facilities, health & safety, campus planning and business offices, as well as students, business partners and other education stakeholders.

The 2013 conference tracks:

1. Community Connections
2. Fostering Behavior Change
3. The Campus as a Learning Laboratory
4. Strategic Implementation
5. The Built Environment
6. Innovation
