This year’s program will once again feature an unforgettable weekend of live keynote presentations, afternoon workshops, FAMILY programming for all ages, an extensive Youth Initiative program, a downlink of the 20th Annual Bioneers Conference in California, an exhibition hall featuring sustainable businesses and organizations, films, music, art installations, a farmers’ market and local & organic food.

In addition to the fees above, there will be a $5 per day charge for lunch. This will defer a portion of our costs for the delicious, local and seasonal lunch that we offer, thus allowing us to keep ticket prices at the same low price. We not only want to offer as sustainable conference as possible, but also want to remain as financially sustainable as well. This will allow us to offer this educational and inspiring conference for years to come. If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact us.
