Dear Friends and Investors,
I would like to personally invite you to join me on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the inaugural SOAR Festival to be held on The Hilltop above the Columbia Gorge near Quincy, Washington. The vision is to bring together world-class music, science, environmental stewardship, and human potential in one extraordinary setting 900’ above the Columbia River. https://thehilltop.org
As part of the VIP event, I will be delivering a TED-style presentation titled "Where Technology and Ecology Meet: A More Natural Way Forward," exploring how innovation can help restore ecological connectivity, improve fish passage, and unlock new opportunities for clean energy and environmental stewardship. The talk is based on the work we have been building together and the vision many of you have helped support over the years.
There are two ways to participate:
VIP Experience (Limited Availability)
Only 250 VIP seats are available. Check-in for the VIP experience begins at Noon and includes:
A peak into the future of The Hilltop from architects to artists
TED talk-style presentation beginning @ 2:45 p.m.
Access to the VIP gathering and dinner @ 4:30 p.m.
An opportunity to spend time and be seated with fellow supporters, community leaders, artists, scientists, and innovators, or if you prefer, bring a crowd and reserve an entire 8 top table.
A chance for us all to connect in person over a delicious catered meal
VIP ticket holders evening concludes with preferred reserved seats for an evening of extraordinary musical and intimate live theater performances at Stage B (see the hilltop.org for details).
Stage B Performance-Only Admission
If your schedule is tight or you simply want to enjoy the performances and experience the festival, without the VIP benefits, show-only tickets are also available. You should arrive by 6:00 p.m. and gather near Stage B. You may also pre-order a meal to enjoy before the show. Although you’ll miss some of the VIP experience earlier in the day, we will all come together to Stage B to enjoy the celebrate the outstanding talent assembled.
For me personally, my talk will be more than a presentation. It is an opportunity to share a vision for how technology, ecology, and human ingenuity can and must work together to solve some of the world's most challenging problems of the day. I would be honored to have many of the people who have helped support that journey at Whooshh in the audience.
Most importantly, I look forward to seeing/meeting you, spending a little time together, and catching up between activities and performances. If you plan to come to either the VIP experience or show, let me know in advance by sending a short message to [email protected].
