About the event
Be Part of the Hemp Renaissance and a first of its kind, Illinois Hempcrete retrofit Experience! Join us October 10-12, 2025 in Princeton, Illinois for a multi-faceted weekend of education and hands-on experience centered around building with hempcrete! From learning the basics to mixing and installing hempcrete, you’ll apply your newfound knowledge, connect with like-minded people, and leave with the skills and confidence to build your own structure or business in the growing hemp space. Hosted at the to-be headquarters of the IHGA in the historic Art District in Princeton, IL, this experience offers a unique blend of industry education, hands-on training, and community building. We will also celebrate the IHGA's 7th Anniversary! Conveniently located just two hours west of Chicago on I-80, this hemp experience is easily accessible by car, and the Amtrak station is just one block from the building site, making travel simple for those coming from Chicago and Springfield.
