The 2025 Summit will be held on Wednesday, April 30th, at the Randolph campus of Vermont State University (formerly VTC). The day will include a hybrid plenary in the morning followed by lunch and in-person-only sessions; the day will conclude with a social networking event nearby. This year VORS is highlighting the connections between sustainable communities and compost. We're especially excited for the keynote from Michael Martinez, Founder and Executive Director of L.A. Compost. Michael's leadership in building community-based composting systems has inspired grassroots efforts across the country, and his insights will set an inspiring tone for the day.

On Thursday, May 1st, we plan to offer a variety of tours, field trips and in-person workshops concurrently across Vermont.

VORS is hosted by the Composting Association of Vermont and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation.
