2nd Annual Green Technologies Symposium
About this Event

Join us for a full day celebrating the science and creativity of fermentation!

Start the day at the 2nd Annual Green Technologies Symposium: Fermentation in Personal Care, where researchers, industry professionals, and innovators will explore how fermentation is transforming sustainable personal care ingredients and products.

In honor of Sourdough September, keep the fermentation theme going with a hands-on Sourdough Starter-Making Class. Learn the basics of creating and maintaining your own sourdough starter to take home and begin your bread-baking journey.

Wrap up the day with a casual Happy Hour at Kite & Key, where attendees can continue conversations, network with fellow participants, and unwind over food and drinks in a relaxed setting.

Whether you're passionate about green technology, fascinated by fermentation, or simply looking to connect with others who share your interests, this lineup offers something for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!
