The coming is dawning ●•٠·˙˙·.

After a very interesting meeting with John Higson this morning, I've become wiser and the onset of action has become more clear.

Here are the strategic plans for the year 2011. Maestro, drumroll!

The festival takes a small detour


After consulting with John, who has tons of experience from arranging and organizing bigger events, the decision was made to make the event smaller this year. For two reasons:

1) In order to make a mind boggling and fun festival that makes a lasting impression on all attending individuals, a lot has to be arranged. The task would be too major to be accomplished within a few months. Therefore we'll be aiming for the summer of 2012. Be excited, because of the right reasons; we'll cooperate with many individuals and organizations from all over the world on this one. Updates on this topic will be posted regularly. If you feel that this is something you want to follow, please subscribe to this blog and comments are welcomed. We're together on this one, remember? :)

2) Because of a smaller event, where the goal will be to achieve a deep impact on the right stakeholders, we want to create a buzz; how critical the role of hemp is in a move to a sustainable economy. The event will be arranged on a roof, in a soon-to-be-ready ecological building in central Stockholm (yes, the ecological building is being built on a roof at the moment of this writing!).

What was written still stands

As mentioned earlier, the focus for all events remains the same; to show the concrete, enticing possibilities of hemp. Seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting hemp is the key.

Therefore all bets still stand. I've already been contacted by several companies who're offering their products to be displayed at this event..

I need to know all the products you guys have to offer and what your primary markets are currently, so that I don't have to do all the research to find out what you already know; waste of valuable planning time. This need for information is vital, since we want to present these product and their usage, at the roof-event in August/September of 2011, in a way that will captivate the prospects.

To give you a hint of what is going down; at the event we're going to serve hemp-based foods (e.g. hemp pesto), have a small fashion show for hemp clothing, display hemp insulation in a creative manner (e.g. can be handled without any kind of gloves or masks), display hemp plastics or composites etc.

Any hemp product you think should be displayed, needs to be heard of.
Therefore, please contact me on my email and tell me what you're offering, what is your primary market and we'll invite the right people from Swedish industries/municipalities/medias/organizations.

Hemp is back!
