Terms and Conditions

• The call for speakers is exclusively for the NEXT Stage and does not include plenary or other sessions.
• Applications are open only to speakers who can present in person in Cape Town.
• All applications will be reviewed by the Programme Committee, and you will be notified via email if your application is successful. All decisions are final.
• Shortlisted applicants may be requested to submit a 3-5 minute video offering insight into their presentation (simple phone recordings are accepted).
• Full Conference Participation Required: The Green Building Convention is a highly attended event that sells out quickly each year due to limited space. To better manage these constraints and enhance the integration of our programme, all speakers whose submissions are accepted are required to register for the full conference. No session-only passes are available.
• In recognition of your contributions to our field, accepted speakers on our NEXT stage will benefit from a significantly reduced registration fee. This exclusive rate enables full access to all sessions, workshops, and networking events throughout the convention, allowing you to fully engage with your peers and all convention activities. The discounted registration fee is ZAR 5500 (40% discount). Full registration not only supports the sustainability of the convention but also maximises your professional experience by providing extensive opportunities to connect, learn, and share knowledge with other experts in the built environment.
• Please note that this fee is a package price and cannot be amended. Therefore, the Gala Dinner is included and cannot be removed in exchange for a further discount.
• We encourage you to take full advantage of the convention’s offerings, as this is a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and network with the best in the field.
• Given the limited space and high demand for participation, please ensure you are prepared to register at the discounted rate if your submission is accepted. Details on how to register will be provided with the acceptance notification.
