Exhibitors will be located between 4th and 14th Streets. See a map of the National Mall. The best way to get around the city is to use public transportation.

7th Annual National Sustainable Design Expo.

Dates: April 15 - 17, 2011
Location: National Mall between 4th and 7th Streets, Washington, DC

The Expo brings together students, scientists, engineers, and business leaders whose innovative technologies are designed to advance economic growth while reducing environmental impact. A highlight of the Expo will be the technologies developed by student teams to address alternative energy, purification and distribution of drinking water, reducing pesticide run-off, green buildings, and more. The Expo also provides a forum for government, nonprofits, and the business community to demonstrate their diverse approaches to sustainability.
