Wednesday May 27th, the career fair portion of the California Green Building Conference runs free from 3:00–5:00 pm, with registration required. Conference sessions run separately at $299–$399 a ticket. Exact venue details are listed on the conference registration page — check before you go, as green building events in the Bay Area have bounced between Oakland and SF venues in recent years.

The split structure here is worth noting: you don't need to buy a full conference ticket to walk the job fair floor. That makes this a usable afternoon for anyone in construction, architecture, engineering, or facilities management who wants to see who's hiring without sitting through a full day of panels. Exhibitors at events like this typically include contractors, municipal agencies, and nonprofits alongside the bigger firms, so the range tends to be wider than a standard industry recruiting day.

Practical note: if you're coming just for the 3–5 pm block, don't arrive before 2:45 — registration lines at conference job fairs move faster once the afternoon session crowd has cleared from lunch.

If you only have two hours, skip the panels entirely, register online in advance, and use the full window on the floor.
