Hosted by HeatSpring Learning Institute.  This a sustainable business workshop for business owners in the solar, geothermal, or energy efficiency industries.  This event will have STRUCTURE.  Here's how things will go:

1. 30 minutes of informal networking.
2. Short presentation on making money and building a company that is built for the long-haul.  
3. Panelists introduce their business and answer the question, "What is the biggest issue facing your business right now?" (about five minutes each)
4. Discussion about specific issues - conversation moderated by HeatSpring.
5. 30 minutes of informal networking.

This is not:

• Just another cocktail party-style networking event
• A soap box to use for marketing your company
• A place to sound impressive or make other people look or feel bad

Presenter Tim Malarkey has experienced the ups and downs of the renewable energy industry and will share his perspective on what it takes to build a business that lasts.  Click Here to watch Tim tell his story in HeatSpring Magazine.

We're limiting registration so there's some intimacy and structure.  Please only register as a panelist if you have an exiting business and are willing to talk openly about it. 

We've done a few informal versions of this and it can be a really powerful learning tool for business owners.  But every event is different, so we'll see how it goes.  It all depends on how willing the group is to be open and share with each other.

I hope to see you there!
