SolFest XIII
Speakers, Workshops, Music and more
August 16-17, 2008
For information on exhibiting, sponsoring, volunteering or attending, please email us.
SolFest is the world’s premier two-day celebration of renewable
energy and sustainable living. Since SolFest was born in 1996 over 100,000
people have learned how to change the world while having fun. Each summer SolFest
transforms the rural hamlet of Hopland, California, into the global epicenter
of green living. Our main stage, family stage, and six workshop tents are
filled
with world-renowned speakers, musicians and artists, offering keynotes, panels,
performances, and over fifty one-hour workshops. The leading developers and
distributors of green products and services are here too, sponsoring and
exhibiting in hundreds of booths and displays that fill our beautifully landscaped
grounds
for these two magical days.
SolFest is unique in many ways. It is a learning opportunity second to
none. It is a celebration like no other. And it is a magnet for the
best and brightest from around the country and the world, who get
together every year to exchange ideas, network, and recharge their
intellectual and emotional batteries for the year ahead.
SolFest is not a temporary encampment, nor is it a weekend-long set-up
in a convention hall. The Solar Living Institute’s home, the Solar
Living Center, is a unique solar-powered permaculture site. Our
year-round commitment to demonstrating to and educating the public
embody the principles of SolFest. This gives attendees and sponsors
alike a uniquely powerful understanding of the possibilities of
renewable energy, green building and more. The Solar Living Institute
and SolFest’s many sponsors, supporters and volunteers, by “walking the
talk” 365 days a year, bring to life our three part goal: Demonstrate,
Educate, Activate.
SolFest is indeed the Greenest Show on Earth!
