FPMDI and Dovetail Partners present five webinars featuring leading nationwide experts in the area of green building. View, listen and interact with the speakers at your desk. A simple two step process to register and attend these valuable online presentations.

Who Should Attend:
• Retail and wholesale building products distributors.
• Builders interested in issues surrounding green building.
• Manufacturers concerned about promoting their products as sustainable and environmentally responsible.
• People interested in green marketing and wondering how to get started.

Why:
Current conditions in the housing and forest products sectors are bleak. However, recovery will come eventually, and when it does, it is likely that the housing market will be different than today as consumers and the business climate change. It is also likely that building materials suppliers will need to adjust practices to succeed in the new environment. Successful companies will be those that identify new opportunities and act accordingly. One change that is currently underway is a shift toward green in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. This program will examine current trends, identify emerging opportunities, and examine potential strategies for thriving in a future defined by greater attention to environmental impacts.
