switch~2 is TONIGHT!

And what better way to start the day of our event on sustainable energy by waking up to a power outage???

We have a GREAT lineup for you tonight – totally worth going out in the snow for.

Schedule:

6PM doors open for drinks and networking

7PM show starts

9:30PM (ish) show ends, post-party (also at the Fox, with awesome DJ Ari Newman) begins

Midnight: Fox Theatre closes.

Hey you – procrastinators. Yes, you. Go here for tickets.

See you tonight!

TWO DAYS TO SWITCH~2 – Buy Your Tickets!

We had a sad collection of wanna-be’s the day before switch~1 – “oh, it’s sold out, can you hook me up with a ticket anyway?” You know, like that. Don’t be That Guy. Go buy your tickets to switch~2 NOW, here, so you don’t end up with your nose pressed against the windows of the Fox Theatre during the awesomest sustainable energy event in town. Okay, so the Fox Theatre doesn’t really have windows…you still get our drift, right?

Just in case you missed it the first time: go here to buy tickets before we sell out. The show is at 7PM on October 25, at the Fox Theatre; doors open at 6PM for networking and pre-event drinks.

And the winners are…

We are excited to announce the names of the speakers for switch~2, and their chosen topics:

Josh Radoff                       The Illusion of Free Will

Mark Lewis                        Big Oil Isn’t the Enemy
