EarthWorks Expo workshops offer our attendees an opportunity to get in-depth information and hands-on experience in a wide range of sustainable-living topics. Workshops are presented by qualified exhibitors, keynote speakers and other well-informed individuals. All workshops are free of charge to expo ticket-holders.
Workshops run either 60 or 90 minutes, as detailed below. Most take place in one of the six workshop rooms in Expo Hall I. A few workshops (i.e., on straw bale construction) will be held on the indoor loading dock adjacent to Expo Hall III.
