“Our verified attendance increased by almost 30% over 2010,” according to Ann Seltz, President, Center for Environmental Innovation and Leadership. “Exhibits grew by 70%.”

Federal attendees came from more than 50 agencies and over 60% of the attendees reporting were GS 13 and higher. GSA and the military agencies contributed the highest number of attendees, followed by Health and Human Services, EPA, NASA and Veteran’s.

GOVgreen is unique because the event is free to federal government and military and the exhibit floor was free to all. The 25 educational sessions qualified for Continuing Learning Points—as well as continuing education credits from both American Institute of Architects and the US Green Building Council.

Many of the new interactive features of GOVgreen 2011 proved popular with attendees, particular the Lunch-and-Learn sessions on the show floor, the Ride and Drive and the Trikke demo.

GOVgreen 2012 is scheduled for October 31-December 1 at the Washington Convention Center. For more information, visit www.GOVgreen.org.
