ABOUT NEON SPEAKS FESTIVAL & SYMPOSIUM

The annual Neon Speaks Festival & Symposium is produced by San Francisco Neon, a two-person preservation organization. There is a national movement of many dedicated neon preservationists, artists, and advocates that need a venue to come together to celebrate and share information on neon art, design, restoration, and preservation. Our goal is to educate and advocate for the artistic legacy of historic neon signs: a brilliant archive of design, craft, and city history.
