This event has passed.
We only have one planet and there is no backup. Countries and governments are focusing even more on renewables and sustainability to beat climate change and solve global issues. Thus, we want to contribute by creating the first 2019 ACT Renewable Showcase!
We have a great range of amazing and influential people attending for a day of renewables, innovation and sustainability, including Chief Minister Andrew Barr.
Become a thought-leader and support the ACT efforts to fight climate change through innovation and community participation. Come as a volunteer, showcase your idea or just participate on the day! Get your tickets before they run out!
