2020 Green Schools Conference and Expo

June 17, 2019

Join us in Portland, Oregon for the 10th annual Green Schools Conference and Expo (GSCE) to be held at the Hilton Portland Downtown on March 2 – 4, 2020.
GSCE is the only national event to bring together all the players involved in making green schools a reality: people who lead, operate, build, and teach in U.S. schools. The conference is an opportunity for green schools leaders to share challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned in their continued advocacy for healthy, sustainable schools.
Registration for the conference will open in Fall 2019.
There are multiple ways to get involved with the educational programming at GSCE 2020.

Applications are open for the GSCE Program Working Group (PWG). This group helps review session proposals, participates in conference calls, and attends an in-person program retreat, among other responsibilities. PWG members can earn continuing education hours and receive a discounted conference pass for participation.
