After the success of last years' Meet and Greet DT, we would like to invite you again to the 2019 Meet & Greet. Many ideas for activities were put forward during our trade department's Meet & Greet 2017 and 2018. This also led to activities. We would like to show you the results of this and the activities we are currently working on.

Moreover, our trade group has welcomed many new members in the past year. We would like to give everyone the opportunity to get to know each other and the board.

As a result of the Meet & Greet 2017, some initiatives were started regarding sustainability bottem-up, in other words Social Local Good Business. The members DT involved who are contributing to these want to share with you the state of play and their experiences and how they want to proceed. What can engineers contribute to these types of initiatives?

This year, the DT board has chosen Sustainability in the Built Environment as its theme . The various speakers will present what they are working on in this context.

A tour d'horizon Making the built environment more sustainable will be given Esther Gerritsen. She will give her vision and share her knowledge and experience on a range of aspects related to making the built environment more sustainable. All relevant contemporary developments towards further sustainability will be discussed.

There will be plenty of time to interactively exchange views on how we as engineers can contribute to making society more sustainable. The presentations will help you on your way.
The Meet & Greet (including drinks) will take place in Antropia, congress centre in Driebergen, easy to reach by both car and public transport.
