Solar Power International (SPI) is North America's largest, most
comprehensive solar power trade show and conference. This annual,
business-to-business event was the first of its kind in North America
and grows bigger and better every year.

Nearly 24,000 professionals from 125+ countries attend. With one out
of five attendees coming from outside the United States, SPI is truly a
global event.

In 2011, over 1,200 companies from all vertical markets in the solar
power spectrum will exhibit in a space of more than 1 million gross
square feet.

Growing New Markets

SPI is presented by two non-profit organizations, SEIA and SEPA,
whose mission is to advance and support the solar power industry and to
promote the growth of U.S. solar markets. Fulfilling this commitment,
SPI will take place outside of California for the first time in 2011. In
Dallas, Texas, show participants will gain exposure to new products,
service providers and professionals from a new horizon of the industry.

SES 21 USA is going to host an introductory solar training course

fastest growing industry.

We will learn to
construct a beautiful, natural, earth friendly, energy
efficient building!  Foundation, walls, windows, framing, and roof
construction will be taught. We will be teaching the Nebraska Style of Straw
bale building, which is also termed "Load bearing".  Natural plasters will
also be covered for the interior while the exterior will be Stuccoed. 
Sheet Rock Wall Interface will also be demonstrated. 

This “Green”
Building method will provide the Camp with an ‘Arts and Crafts” structure, to be
used for both storage and a work area.

Get in free all day.

A trail which is familiar by day becomes a whole new experience at night! Our fearless trail guides will lead you on an adventure in which owls hooting, coyotes howling and strange rustlings in the brush are wonderful possibilities.**
