The GreenFringe

The GreenFringe army commands your attention at this annual conference to discuss the tactics required in the war against climate change. ABOUT GREENFRINGE 08 Future Green Leaders and 2050 have joined together to host a new green building conference exclusively for students, graduates and young professionals. GreenFringe 08 takes place in Melbourne from 24-27 September and will take an alternative look at the new green building revolution amongst the next generation of property decision makers. As some of the world’s leading green building experts are converging on Melbourne for SB08, the GreenFringe army will encourage them to also share their knowledge with a younger, dynamic and more passionate audience. Expected to attract around 500 students and young professionals from across Australia, this two day conference will also include a number of social events to encourage networking and idea sharing. So join the mutiny and earn your stripes to win the latest battle in the green revolution.
