Just like any blooming industry, more convention opportunities continue to arise for those going green. SkySite Property’s convention program is conducted through our alliances with industry and professional associations around the country. SkySite represents the green industry at many different conventions by hosting speakers, selecting vendors and exhibits and creating educational experiences. This convention experience allow vendors, associations and attendees to commune to share ideas, sell products and meet others with experience in creating value through sustainability.
