Event Sponsors
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, it’s 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.
