This year's GreenBuild show in Boston seemed a bit more business-like than last year's version in Chicago. Perhaps it was the recession forcing attendees to focus on the practical. A colleague described last year's crowd as "crunchy," in the Gra-nola sense. This year's crowd seemed to have fewer followers of Phish and more followers of Adam Smith.rnThe show had advanced registrations of about 25,000 people, a bit more than last year. It seemed like fewer than that showed up; perhaps it was because the exhibit hall space in Boston was larger than Chicago's. Or perhaps the financial crisis caused some attendees to cancel their plans. Nevertheless, the exhibitors all seemed to be pleased with the quality and quantity of attendees with whom they met.
