2025 Women in Green Networking Breakfast

Building the Future

How Women Are Redefining Leadership, Innovation, and Impact in a Changing World

What does sustainable success look like in a time of rapid innovation and disruption? This year’s Big WIG brings together women leaders transforming the built environment with new technologies, tools, and ideas. From rethinking materials to advancing digital platforms, our panel will highlight the breakthroughs shaping how we design, build, and adapt for a more sustainable future.

Join us for the annual Women in Green Breakfast and celebrate the power of the collective to strengthen, inform, and transform our efforts
at our annual networking breakfast. This special event aims to bring together women in the green building and sustainability sectors for a morning of connection, inspiration, and empowerment. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the industry, this event is designed to foster meaningful conversations, expand your network, and recharge your passion for building a more sustainable world. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded women, share experiences, and be inspired to drive positive change in the built environment.
