Grammy award-winning band, Maroon 5 will perform for over 25,000 members of the green building community at the upcoming Greenbuild International Conference Expo, hosted by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Greenbuild, the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building, will take place Oct. 4-7 in Toronto, Canada.

“We’re thrilled to host one of music’s biggest bands, Maroon 5, for what will be an unforgettable evening of inspiration and celebration,” said Kimberly Lewis, Vice President, Conferences Events, USGBC. “The green building community has so much to celebrate, and there is no better place to let loose then at this can’t-miss event!”

“The band and I are looking forward to heading to Toronto for Greenbuild 2011,” said Maroon 5’s Adam Levine. “The environment is a cause that the entire band deeply cares about and we are excited to help kick off the 10th anniversary of this important event.”

The concert, taking place the evening of Oct. 5 at the Air Canada Center, will follow an inspiring keynote by Pulitzer-Prize winner Thomas Friedman, and a panel on USGBC’s Resiliency Agenda, featuring medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer, and ABC News political commentator Cokie Roberts.
