Solarpunk Summit 2026 — Planning State
Status as of 2026-08-31 (two planning meetings: 8-24 and 8-31).
The event
- ~700 people; Sun's Blue Ranch, San Marcos (river, camping, glamping, cabins).
- Tech Day = Saturday: yoga/workshops 10am; talks 3-5pm (30-45 min TED-style); off-stage programming 5-7pm; music from 7pm; Solar/Lunar/Cypherpunk DJ set 8pm (45 min).
- SolLunar owns 7 workstreams: 12 activation installations, the Solar Pass (card) system, all Tech Day programming, staff/volunteer help, the Lunarpunk Lounge, workshops, and decentralized logistics (food + peace support).
Budget (D-2026-082)
- $25k all-in, partly from SolLunar/brick-house fundraising.
- Build all 12 activations even if no sponsors land — worst case = 12 posters.
The 12 activation themes (picked with Angel)
TerraPunks, Energy Independence, Right to Repair/DIY-Maker, Eco-Arc, Organic Foods, Sovereign Tech, Optionality & Agency, Decentralization, Community/Indigenous & Traditional Knowledge, Faith, Clean Tech, Off-grid Tech.
Concept directions per activation (as of 8-24):
- TerraPunks — hempcrete food-forest beds + meditation garden.
- Energy Independence — personal energy-use calculator (museum-pillar size).
- Right to Repair — disassembled Framework laptop + non-repairable junk pile + tool library.
- Eco-Arc — natural-plaster meditation room (headliner candidate).
- Organic Foods — vertical farm + smoothie bar (question before drink).
- Optionality & Agency — two-button box w/ hidden third choice + escape room.
- Decentralization — nature totem + infinity-mirror room (Haven has materials; mirrored acrylic; headliner candidate).
- Community — bookshelf (openable, not takeable) + QR digital library (~6,000 books, locally hosted, no internet needed).
- Faith — "faith transaction" concept + altar/lighthouse emotional-processing space, possible burning ritual.
- Clean/Off-grid Tech — TBD.
Recipe for every activation (D-2026-084): (1) physical/digital takeaway, (2) art centerpiece, (3) sponsor highlighted in the art, (4) personal-reflection element, (5) invitation for next steps. Installations must be portable/modular (tourable trailers or build-up/pack-down wood-frame boxes/teepees); layout = 1 headliner full-size + 5 medium + 3-4 grouped small + 1-2 scattered.
Lunarpunk Lounge
- Location: more centered, closer to stage than last year — likely cabanas H + "Above" area (tech village); Angel makes the final call.
- Three-cabana combined mega-structure: cabanas 8/I/H = Lab484 / Above Phone / SolLunar Society, joined by tarps/curtains/aircraft cable; each org keeps its own program. Cabanas: hexagonal, 2-story, 16 ft diameter.
- Target ~30 people; "hard to find" but visible; access via password + scavenger hunt across the activations.
- Hakeem (8-31): Above is "not really using the cabana at all."
Sponsorship model (D-2026-095)
- Per-activation tier ≈ $1,000: name in the activation, leads routed to sponsor, on-brand takeaway, direct next-step lead, pre-event digital assets.
- Summit-level tier = top tier (activation = subset); don't compete with Solarpunk's own sponsors.
- Tooling: sponsorship doc with color-coded multi-select drop-down per activation (Haven built); master list with mock-ups, NOT a full pitch deck; outreach starts ~2026-08-31 + a couple days.
- Framework already contacted (sponsorship portal).
Logistics
- Volunteers self-book via solarpunksummit.com ticketing; Jessie = workshop liaison (explicitly NOT volunteer coordinator).
- Weekly update rhythm across all 7 workstreams; weekly art-build nights (Thursdays) start the week after 8-24, off a shared goals/materials list.
- Peace Support emergency system: local-wifi-only app (no internet), 4 triage options — life-threatening injury, suspicious behavior, missing person, missing item (see Peace Support / Emergency Response Design).
- Gambino volunteers for Solarpunk video editing (Angel runs the marketing team).
- Signage: hologram fans (spinning LED, any image) + big TV with rotating ads; static signage explicitly disliked (mitigates last year's "no one knew what was happening / cabanas hard to find" failure).
- Activation design meeting: Wednesday 6pm, week of 2026-09-01 (Kyle).
