Sustainable Connections Green Building Slam Returns to the Wild Buffalo

Bellingham, Washington, August 18, 2025 – Join Sustainable Connection’s for the 7th Annual Green Building Slam. Tickets are on sale now. 

Sustainable Connections is thrilled to announce that the Green Building Slam will return to the Wild Buffalo House of Music on Friday, October 3rd at 5:30pm. This highly anticipated evening brings green building experts, enthusiasts, and curious community members together to learn about the hottest topics in the industry.

“The Slam always leaves me feeling so inspired - it's great to hear speakers nerd out about their creative solutions to green building challenges,” said Elizabeth Vaughn of the Energy & Green Building Program, “And we’re always excited to be a part of all the connections and partnerships that come from this special night.” Each ticket includes networking and dinner from Mediterranean Specialties.

This dynamic line-up of speakers for the Green Building Slam includes Eli Lieberman from Washington Green Bank to educate on renewable energy financing and green bank development in Washington State, and Sean Lawrence from Sazan Group to discuss Tribal microgrid feasibility. Nick Cusick of the Energy & Green Building Program states, “It is an honor to host this event to put a spotlight on the work being done to create a sustainable built environment in our region.”

Purchase your tickets now before they are gone! Last year’s Green Building Slam was a sold-out event. Students and members of Sustainable Connections have reduced pricing. Please reach out to the organization for details.  

This event is sponsored by Corix, Lautenbach Recycling, Envision Homes, and Extol Windows.  

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
