Powershift West is Going to be Hot! « It’s Getting Hot In Here

As registration tops 400 with 4 days left and zooms towards our anticipated goal of 500 participants, Powershift West organizers have released a promo video for the conference to lure in anyone left unregistered.

For those out there who doubted that the lil ol’ barely-populated Northwest could deliver an outstanding Powershift conference, better think again. We’re building a movement and have folks streaming across 13 Western states (and a couple Eastern ones too) to converge this weekend and you can still register!

Check out our video and our line up of keynote speakers, panelists, and killer workshops.

Keynotes:

Bernadette Del Chiaro, Clean Energy Advocate for Environment California

Riki Ott, Alaskan Community Activist, former professional fisherma’m, and story teller

Jefferson Smith, Founder of the Oregon “Bus Project” and OR State Representative

Dan Carol, Political Strategist and Co-founder of the Apollo Alliance

Alisha Fowler, Educator with the Alliance for Climate Education based in Bay Area, CA

Nathan Jones, Co-founder of the Cascade Climate Network, Sierra Student Coalition long-time leader, founder of the Northwest Institute for Community Energy, and much much more…

Jeremy Blanchard, one of three core organizers who are making Powershift happen and an all around fabulous guy.
