At BLD Southeast we partner with TripZero to provide attendee-only hotel deals and offset the carbon footprint created by travel to BLD Southeast 2026.
The average attendee will create 400 pounds of CO2 in transit. We'll balance this impact with Certified Carbon Offsets.
Your booking enables us to offset your travel footprint through the purchase of Certified Carbon Offsets (at no cost to you).
These offset purchases finance amazing renewable energy, methane reduction and forestry projects that remove CO2 from the atmosphere. In turn, they reduce the impact of your trip and benefit local communities.
