2021 Northwest Green Building Slam + Summit Presenter Application

Apply to present at the Northwest Green Building SLAM and SUMMIT which will be hosted virtually again this year, with possible live options for the Slam. The virtual event will be spread out over 3 days with Summit sessions on Oct 13 & 14 and Slam presentations the evening of Oct 15.

Step 1 of 6

The SLAM is a NW Ecobuilding Guild showcase featuring a series of innovative and compelling stories of green building in the Pacific Northwest designed to inspire and engage listeners. Each Slam presentation is allowed 10 slides and 10 minutes.

The SUMMIT digs deeper into cutting edge design, technology and policy to provide the more typical conference content for the event. Summit presentations may be 60 or 90 minutes (including Q&A).

If you have multiple ideas for presentations, please submit one application for each topic and let us know your flexibility to present for 10, 60 or 90 minutes.
Application Requirements
Because the Slam is a Guild showcase, all presenters must be NW EcoBuilding Guild members. Summit submissions are open to all presenters with a project in the Tri-State area (WA/OR/ID). If you are not a current member, we encourage you to join online now and become a part of our community.
