The City of Portland is sponsoring Ecoroof Portland, taking
place March 12-13, 2010. Come learn how ecoroofs work, why
they're important, and what's next for Portland's rooftops
and skyline. With nearly 200 ecoroofs in Portland and an
incentive available to help with the costs, its the perfect
time to get an ecoroof of your own. If you own property in
Portland, manage or own development projects, aspire to work
in the ecoroof industry, or simply support sustainable
development, Ecoroof Portland is the event to get involved
with this alternative roofing approach. Activities will
include Portland ecoroof tours, live ecoroof installations,
presentations by local and national experts, and workshops
to help you get started on your own project. Fair attendance
is free. Vendors can reserve booth space for $250 -
applications for display space are available here. Fees will
be waived for non-profit organizations or educational
institutions that are moving the ecoroof industry forward.
