BuildingEnergy08 features three days
packed with speakers, workshops, and special
events. Each session invites thought and practice
leaders to both share with, and be challenged
by, their audience. It is a time to learn
and grow in your field of expertise.
Our Trade Show features technical products
and services upon which sustainable practices
depend. You are invited to visit vendors and to
meet and interact with colleagues who will
gather Wednesday and Thursday on the Trade
Show floor. NESEA provides a ticket for you to
enjoy lunch onsite, making it more convenient
than ever to learn about new opportunities.
On Wednesday evening, you are invited to attend the Trade Show Reception held on the Exhibition Hall floor. This collegial atmosphere, replete with a sumptuous buffet, is your time to get together with those who have vital products and services you need.
Green Elvis, Pecha Kucha & Green Auction
ELVIS IS GREEN AND IS IN THE BUILDING!
Come and enjoy the world's best Elvis Tribute Artist, Travis LeDoyt, perform at NESEA Night! Travis bears an uncanny resemblance to Elvis in looks, moves, and voice. He is a world-class performer having entertained audiences in Chile, China, Canada, across the US and Europe. Travis will be on hand to sing, dance and bring his own humor. This Elvis lives a green life, drives a Prius, recycles and eats organically... the King of both worlds. We don't think you'll be lonesome tonight. In fact, you may leave NESEA Night all shook up! For more information on Travis, go to www.travisledoyt.com.
SHOW YOUR STUFF WITH PECHA KUCHA
We’re offering you the stage. There’s one simple rule: twenty slides for twenty seconds. Show or tell whatever you want: an exciting project or an axe to grind. 20 x 20 = six minutes and forty seconds. The stage is yours. Entertain us. Then sit down.
This is Pecha Kucha (Japanese for “chitchat”).
This stimulating format has tapped into
a demand for a forum in which creative work can
be easily and informally shown without having
to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor.
Discover Pecha Kucha at pecha-kucha.org. Then prepare to present. Ramp up your rant. Wind up and wow us. Assemble your slides and submit to appear on the NESEA Night Stage. Learn how to submit.
