The German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest (GACCoM) brought a delegation of innovative German companies who specialize in energy-saving technologies and expertise for commercial and residential buildings to Chicago. The delegation’s purpose was to generate discussion and cooperation between German green building suppliers and their U.S. counterparts, by introducing their technologies to leading U.S. architects, construction firms, and suppliers in the industry. This Green Building Innovation Conference brought together leading companies from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss opportunities for cooperation and trends in energy efficient building technology. 
AIA Continuing Education Credits (CES) were available for qualifying Conference attendants.
