The annual Green Schools Conference 2025 brings together everyone involved in creating and advocating for green schools, with a focus on those leading their schools and school systems toward whole-school sustainability.
Co-located with the ADAPT Southeast Regional Conference, the 2025 event will convene the green schools community in the LEED Gold City of Orlando at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista at Disney Springs to celebrate 15 years of the GSC during a two-day experience designed to inspire and facilitate the progress of the green schools movement.
The event offers those in the green schools community — including those who lead, operate, build and teach in schools — a deep dive into the most pressing green school topics within the areas of environmental impact, health and wellness, environmental and sustainability education, and whole-school sustainability culture.
Attendees explore interdisciplinary content and receive action-oriented training in general sessions and collaborate with peers to address specific challenges, exchange best practices, and enhance green school initiatives nationwide
