With an extra day this year, February gets its quadrennial opportunity to step up and fill its 29 days with as many events as possible. With that in mind, there are a number of domestic events jammed into February. These include two here in Denver, one of which I will attend at the end of the month (the Green Schools National Conference).
Take a look at the conferences and symposiums below. They range from a solar conference in San Francisco to one focusing on organic farming in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
