In 2017 our main event will feature an outstanding group of national and foreign experts who, through keynote talks, thematic rooms and project showcases, once again consolidate CONSTRUVERDE as the ideal scenario for updating the main trends in sustainability of the country and the region, networking and green business opportunities and competitive differentiation of the construction sector" said Cristina Gamboa, Executive Director of the CCCS.
