Greenbuild Global Impact Day Summit

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM · 8 hr. 30 min. (US/Eastern)

Information

Global Impact Day offers a full-day exploration of sustainability across two interconnected domains: the digital infrastructure that powers modern business and the physical spaces that shape our built environment.

The morning focuses on Data Centers, examining global technical innovations and regulatory developments redefining how next-generation facilities are designed and operated, with practical insights on compliance and implementation. The afternoon shifts to Global Portfolios, broadening the lens from digital infrastructure to the built environment at large — exploring the global trends reshaping real estate, from evolving green building benchmarks to shifting demand, regional variation, and the economic and regulatory forces driving investment strategy.

Across both halves of the program, Global Impact Day equips attendees with the perspectives and connections needed to lead sustainable progress — from the data centers running tomorrow's technology to the real estate and projects shaping tomorrow's communities.
