Satellite Conferences

In addition to the main conference in San Rafael, CA, Bioneers has partnered with eighteen communities across the country to produce Beaming Bioneers Satellite Conferences in 2008.

The majority of these events will take place on the same weekend as the Bioneers Conference, featuring a live satellite presentation of the national plenary addresses from California. On the ground in these towns and cities, local workshops, speakers and activities complement and build on the nationally broadcast speeches, creating an inspirational weekend of local networking and community education.

 

Press

In its 19th year, the Bioneers Conference attracts leading-edge innovators to what for many activists has become a yearly gathering for ideas, rejuvenation, and hope.
