Now, having made that snarky comment about white guys in a previous post (for the record, I'm a white guy), I should say that the conference itself has a very nicely diverse attendance. Walking the trade show floor, you're surrounded by a range of ages, what seems like an almost even mix of sexes, and a good variety of ancestries. And not everybody is dressed in fashionable black with high-tone glasses.
I was talking with Jim Newman about it, and he said that most conference attendees are actually from small firms, which have a greater diversity. (So, in the monstrous exhibition hall, it seems we have mostly big manufacturers and suppliers trying to sell mostly high-end wares to mostly small architectural concerns.)
I haven't made it through much of the hall yet. I just attended a session — more on that later — and am about to head to another, co-presented by Nadav Malin.
Here's the BuildingGreen booth in action:
