The presentation format is divided into two parts.
- Each presenter will be given exactly ten minutes to give their perspective in their area of expertise at the podium. Multimedia presentations are encouraged. We can help you prepare. If you’ve got specific knowledge in a key area of sustainability for the island, we need to hear from you.
- After the last presentation, presenters will sit on stage for a moderated discussion. A moderator will share questions from the audience with the presenters for one hour.
- All presentation applications submitted before February 20th will be considered.
- Applicants must provide completed multimedia or slide presentation by March 2nd.
- All applications will be reviewed and acceptance notes sent by March 9th.
A short video will play before and after each presentation. Videos are also okay in your presentations. No sales pitches, looking for facts, come talk story with neighbors.

- Hawaiian Cultural Practices
- Renewable Energy / fuels
- Green Economy
- Egovernance
- Community Planning
- Food Security and Farming
