International Green Industry Hall of Fame (IGIHOF) + Presidio Showcase

We invite members of the sustainability ecosystem, emerging leaders, and the Presidio community to join us for two days of celebration, conversation, and collective imagination—grounded in the belief that a more resilient, just, and regenerative future is something we build together.

A two-day celebration of leadership, learning, and the future of sustainable systems

This two-day convening brings together Hall of Fame inductees, sustainability professionals, and emerging leaders to celebrate excellence, surface emerging ideas, and explore how sustainable systems move from concept to execution.

Day One: Honoring Impact

Friday, May 1st, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Playhouse Theater, 27 Kensington Rd, San Anselmo, CA

The International Green Industry Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony recognizes leaders whose work has shaped the sustainability field through innovation, integrity, and long-term impact. 

This year's honorees include:

Day Two: Practicing the Future

Saturday, May 2nd, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Alexander Hall, 40 Kensington Rd, San Anselmo, CA

The second day transforms our annual Presidio Student Showcase into a dynamic, day-long "un-conference"—an interactive, multi-format experience where students, alumni, honorees, and practitioners engage as peers.

Participants will work through real questions, ideas, and challenges in real time. The day invites attendees to think together, test assumptions, and learn across experience levels. Rather than separating “students” and “professionals,” this format places them in dialogue — reinforcing Presidio’s belief that emerging leaders are already practicing leaders.

Featured projects include:

• Economic Impact of Climate Anxiety
• To Inward-ity & Beyond: The Importance of Bringing Your "Self" to the Table
• Good Fire: Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investment Challenge
• The Open Proforma: Unpacking Cost and Risk Mitigation Strategies for Multifamily Housing
• Cleaning Up the Air in El Monte, California
• Preparations for Reparations: Theory and Practice as a Pursuit of Justice
• People-Focused Electricity Grid Planning

What to Expect

• Student projects presented as catalysts for shared inquiry and discussion
• Small-group and roundtable sessions designed for collaboration and exchange
• Multiple formats that invite reflection, problem-solving, and creative thinking
• Opportunities to connect with sustainability leaders of yesterday, today, and tomorrow

This event is designed for those who want to participate, not just observe—whether you are early in your sustainability journey or have decades of experience shaping the field.
