This sustainability event entertains, educates and inspires attendees to 
participate in local and state-wide sustainability efforts. Aspiring and 
practicing sustainability professionals will be presenting short topics 
related to our island's sustainability efforts. The format provides 
actionable insights and creates lasting dialog among attendees. Dozens 
of vendors and event sponsors will be on hand to discuss their latest 
efforts and offerings. Presentation topics that entertain, educate and 
inspire will include; local green business and jobs, education, 
sustainable shelters and building codes, sustainable farming and food 
independence, water supplies, local renewable energy efforts, open 
government, green jobs and greener local
economies. Attendees can gain a deeper understanding by participating in 
moderated discussions after each presentation. Very short, 
highly-informative videos will play between presentations.
This is a not for profit event and the event itself is being delivered 
by an all-volunteer team from Green Collar Technologies. "Hawaii Island 
has a tremendous wealth of knowledge in our people and this event brings 
our communities together to teach and learn how to thrive. We're simply 
doing our best to help create a global model for sustainability and 
abundance on Hawaii
Island."  -Brent Norris, Green Collar Technologies
