OCTOBER 2018 – Ed Calvert, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) Senior Engineer, LEED AP BD+C, GRP, attended the Cities Alive Conference in New York City. The Cities Alive Conference is the premier conference for vegetative roof system professionals.
Attendees included architects and designers, city planners, vegetative roof system manufacturers, politicians, and many more. Together, they were able to participate in several educational sessions and seminars for continuing education efforts and network with each other to discuss and evaluate best practices in “green roofing.” Ed was able to meet with manufacturer representative to better communicate KRSM’s needs and capabilities while learning about new building codes, requirements, and restrictions.
“This was a wonderful event where I learned a great deal,” said Ed. “I was able to spread awareness of our capabilities in the roofing industry and make great business connections with building designers.”
The next Cities Alive Conference is projected to take place in 2020, and Ed will once again plan to attend.
