Call for presentation proposals now open for Building Lasting Change 2026

Do you have real-world strategies delivering measurable performance and value? Here’s your chance to share your solutions at Canada’s premier green building conference. CAGBC is excited to announce that submissions are now open for presentation proposals for Building Lasting Change™, taking place June 17–19, 2026, at the Centre Sheraton in Montréal.

As expectations for measurable performance rise, the market is shifting rapidly toward data-driven decision-making, low-carbon assets, and resilience as a competitive advantage. This is your opportunity to showcase your solutions, connect with decision-makers, and demonstrate how your work is advancing building performance, value, and market leadership.

Present in one of two dynamic streams:

Business Stream – Green building as a value driver

If you’re a real estate executive, investor, or organization aligning building performance with financial outcomes, this stream is for you. Share how your projects or portfolios are:

• Managing transition risk and responding to climate-related disclosure requirements
• Unlocking capital through sustainable finance strategies
• Supporting investor confidence with verifiable performance
• Scaling high-performance housing or managing portfolio-wide decarbonizatio

Technical Stream – Practical solutions for high-performance, resilient buildings

If you’re directly involved in delivering high-performance buildings—through design, engineering, construction, or sustainability implementation—this stream is your platform to share proven, scalable solutions in the following areas:

• Applying LEED v5, Zero Carbon Building Standards™, and deep energy retrofits
• Reducing embodied carbon and implementing transition-ready design
• Advancing performance in priority sectors like housing, commercial, and industrial
• Using data and verification to demonstrate long-term building performance

Presentation format

Each stream will feature 3 to 6 one-hour sessions, delivered in person as part of the conference’s learning program. Sessions should blend expert content with engaging discussions and audience participation, focusing on practical, implementable solutions that deliver measurable value and performance.

This opportunity is available exclusively to CAGBC corporate members. For detailed submission criteria and to begin your application, please visit our online platform today.
