In the past, specialty updates were offered during one time slot, and you told us it wasn&rsquo;t working. So we&rsquo;re changing it up. In 2012, if you wish, you will have the opportunity to attend every USGBC update.<\/li>\n<li><b>More special sets<\/b>. This is your year to experience the magic of <a href=\"http:\/\/greenbuildexpo.org\/education\/special-sets.aspx\">special sets<\/a>. Special sets feature unique stages, lighting, audience polling and interactive presentation styles to better engage the audience. Forty sessions will be held on a special set.<\/li>\n<li><b>Start scheduling and connecting<\/b>. Looking to connect with an attendee, exhibitor, or presenter?
