Bioneers Conference to Connect for Change

Posted by Glenn on 10.8.2009

You need a lot of descriptive words – including visionary and quirky – to the increasingly popular Bioneers movement that is looking to solve some of the world’s most urgent environmental and social problems.

Founded almost 20 years ago as a California non-profit the organization has crafted itself into a progressive think tank focused on personal solutions that is perhaps most famous for its annual autumn conferences held around the country. The main conference is in California on Oct. 22 – 25 but New Bedford is hosting a satellite event at the same time in the Zeiterion Theatre and throughout downtown.
