I’m stoked about the Central Valley Clean Tech Showcase happening this Wednesday at the Capitol Event Center from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm. Some of you know that I used to work for the Sacramento Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA) and we produced the Clean Tech showcase for many years. SARTA closed it’s doors in 2015 and the last showcase event was in 2014. So it’s been a long dry season! Here are a few reasons why you should attend:

  1. 20 Clean Tech Companies will be exhibiting and participating in a Fast Pitch
  2. The speaker program will examine our clean tech future
  3. Admission is free and lunch is provided

The event is funded by the California Energy Commission and organized by CleanStart and BlueTechValley. As a consultant to CleanStart, I also helped with the planning. RSVP now and then on Wednesday, find out about innovative technologies that are helping to save the planet’s resources.
