Where California comes together to shape the future of low-carbon construction.

California is entering one of the most significant periods of building and infrastructure investment in its history. As communities work to meet ambitious climate goals while delivering the housing, schools, transportation, data centers, and public infrastructure the state needs, reducing embodied carbon has become one of the built environment's greatest opportunities and greatest challenges.

Carbon Forward is California's annual event for advancing lower-carbon materials and sustainable construction, convening architects, engineers, developers, manufacturers, policymakers, and building owners to move innovation into standard practice.

As California prepares to host the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games, it gives the region a rare chance to show how major investment in buildings and infrastructure can drive lasting change.

Expect sessions on lower-carbon concrete, steel, mass timber, and other materials, procurement strategies, circular construction, and policy developments, alongside real-world case studies. This event will also mark the release of a first-of-its-kind regional assessment of lower-carbon concrete suppliers and technologies.

If you design, build, manufacture, regulate, or invest in California's built environment, this is where the industry is heading and where you'll want to be.
