Saturday, September 19, 2009
The Sustainable City Series is partnering with the Louisville Solar Tour to bring you the eleventh forum, 2009 Louisville Solar Tour, on Saturday October 3rd beginning at 10:00 am at the Green Building (732 East Market Street).
This event is part of the National Solar Tour organized by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES). The event will provide attendees the opportunity to learn more about solar power and what others in their community are doing to harness the power of the sun. There will be a variety of short speaker presentations as well as opportunities to speak with local leaders in solar energy. Along with solar energy exhibits and the morning presentations there will be an opportunity to take a self-guided tour, provided by the Louisville Solar Tour, of local sites utilizing solar power.
This forum will be held at the Green Building on a Saturday morning. Though the event is free, space is limited to 140 seats so you must RSVP to attend here. The actual presentation room will hold 70 people so there will be two one-hour sessions beginning at 10am, with exhibits and breakfast hors d'oeuvres in the atrium. Please RSVP by Thursday, October 1st to reserve your seat. For more information please call (502) 587-7015.
