Applications now open for free September 26 event at Richmond City Council Chambers

RICHMOND, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Sustainable Richmond Expo 2026 is now accepting exhibitor applications for its inaugural event, bringing together businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, and community organizations working across the sustainability sector in Richmond and the surrounding region.

The free public event takes place Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at City Council Chambers, 440 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, California. Exhibitor tables are complimentary. Organizations should be located in, serve, or conduct business in Richmond, or otherwise support sustainability initiatives benefiting the Richmond community.

"Richmond is home to businesses and organizations doing remarkable work across sustainability — but that work is often invisible to the broader community. The Expo changes that. It creates a space for residents to discover what is happening in their own city, while giving participating organizations a chance to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships that extend well beyond a single event — and well beyond Richmond," said Jesson de Leon of the Economic Development Department.

Exhibitor areas span nine categories: Green Tech & Renewable Energy, Climate Justice & Environmental Equity, Urban Farming & Food Sustainability, Hydroponic Farming/Gardening, Industrial Hemp & Sustainable Materials, Youth Innovation & Education, Electric Vehicles & Clean Transportation, Faith-Based & Community Action, and Art & Culture.

Businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, educational organizations, and entrepreneurs whose work aligns with these areas are encouraged to apply. The Expo offers participating organizations an opportunity to increase community visibility, connect directly with Richmond residents and leaders, and build relationships with others working across the sustainability sector.

Opening ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. with city representatives. The event is free and open to all.
The Sustainable Richmond Expo 2026 is presented by the Sustainability/Business, Industrial Hemp Subcommittee of the Richmond Economic Development Commission, with support from the Economic Development Department.
