25th Anniversary Excellence
in Building Conference & Expo
October 9-11, 2007
Crowne Plaza St. Paul Riverfront - St. Paul, MN

"To keep a bucket full of water you either need to find an additional source of water or fill the holes in the bucket.”
---Joseph Lstiburek, Special Session, October 9, 2007

Attendees of the 2007 Excellence in Building Conference left being inspired and motivated to continue the work started by the pioneers of the EEBA organization 25 years ago. From the call to action of Oliver Drerup’s opening session to Scott Sedam’s wrap up session on how other’s are going green by getting lean, the conference was a celebration of what has been accomplished and offered a challenge for what is yet to be done. Author Sarah Susanka thoughtfully provided a blueprint for doing the right thing in a growing market place that is seeking a home as a retreat. Her presentation highlighted the importance of sustainable design and construction as a means of assisting the homeowner in successfully test driving the “home of their dreams”.

Over 40 sessions were offered during the 3-day conference. And as is traditional of EEBA conferences, multiple “mini-sessions” were held in the hallways and social events of the conference as over 500 attendees took advantage of this networking opportunity. Formal session presentations are being collected and will be posted on this web site as they are received over the next few weeks, so please check back often.

On behalf of the EEBA Board of Directors and Staff we wish to say THANK YOU sponsors, exhibitors, presenters and attendees! We look forward to seeing you next year in Phoenix, Arizona.
