Join IMAGINiT and special guest speakers Jason McLennan and Dr. John Francis for this exclusive event highlighting BIM (Building Information Modeling), an integrated process allowing professionals to explore a project's key physical and functional characteristics digitally - before it is built.
Sustainability is more than just the latest buzzword. Embracing sustainable design practices helps play a part in our planet's future. You will have the opportunity to hear keynote presentations from industry luminaries who will talk about real world examples, highlighting methodologies they adopted to help their firms achieve great gains in productivity.
Keynote Speakers:
Jason McLennan, CEO, Cascadia Region Green Building Council
Jason McLennan serves as the CEO of the Cascadia Green Building Council, the Pacific Northwest’s leading organization in the field of green building and sustainable development. Cascadia is a chapter of both the US Green Building Council and the Canadian Green Building Council. Jason is the author of the Living Building Challenge, an international green building program and co-creator of Pharos, the most advanced building material rating system in North America. Jason is known as an international thought leader in the green architecture movement and has lectured on sustainability across the US and Canada.
John Francis, Ph.D., Author, Planetwalker
John Francis, Ph.D., known the world over as the Planetwalker, will discuss how the current environmental crisis is a reflection of world‐wide social and economic inequity and that any attempt to resolve the crisis must not only address the scientific issues, such as climate‐change and deforestation but also the humanitarian issues. From peace and justice to everyday civility, Dr. Francis contends that our connection to the earth as well as each other is at the heart of the environmental crisis.
Dr. Francis’s non‐motorized lifestyle lasted twenty‐two years and his silence seventeen years. During this time, he earned a B.A at Southern Oregon State College, an M.S. in Environmental Studies at the University of Montana and a Ph.D. in Land Resources at the University of Wisconsin. He later sailed and walked through the Caribbean and then walked the length of South America.
