FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE LARGEST RESIDENTIAL GREEN BUILDING CONFERENCE AND EXPO COMES TO SAN FRANCISCO THIS SEPTEMBER 28-30, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 28, 2006 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Prompted by the tremendous groundswell of public interest in green building, West Coast Green - the nation's premier residential tradeshow focused exclusively on green products, design and sustainability - will open its doors September 28-30 in San Francisco's Bill Graham Auditorium. This event will gather under one roof for the first time pioneering trade professionals from all over the nation, plus homeowners eager to educate themselves about the exciting developments in green and healthy building.

By opening the tradeshow to homeowners on the final day (June 30), West Coast Green strikes an unprecedented balance between maintaining the highest standards for a professional conference and expo while making an important nod to the driving force behind the upsurge in green building - the consumer. This innovative format promises to draw more than 6,000 professional attendees and, on the final day, more than 12,000 homeowners, making West Coast Green the largest green residential conference and expo ever to be held. The venue is at 99 Grove Street in San Francisco.

As an indication of the significance of this event and its mission, the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, has declared the week of June 25, 2006 "Green Week."

Keynote speakers will include Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and trade innovators Ed Mazria and Sarah Susanka. Over 120 other speakers - all top leaders in the fields of green architecture, engineering, planning, design and building supply - will address attendees on diverse topics grouped around seven well-developed educational tracks, many of which can garner attendees industry-sanctioned credits. Sessions will include panels, discussion forums, case studies, networking, Q&A, and provide unparalleled insights into the latest and most revolutionary developments in the green building industry.

Over 250 exhibitors will showcase the latest innovations in resource-efficient materials along with green and healthy building products. Executive Producer Christi Graham remarks about the exhibits, "I think attendees will be delightfully surprised at the wide array of products at the show. The products range from the ingeniously simple to the incredibly sophisticated. People can explore products they've never seen before, and in some cases materials that offer benefits never imagined possible!"
