About the BIONEERS! Having just completed the 19th year, the annual Bioneers Conference, held in San Rafael, CA, attracts over 3,500 people from around the world to hear global perspectives that illuminate the interdependence of life on Earth and propose solutions to current issues; solutions grounded in four billion years of evolutionary intelligence.
In addition to those attending the originating Bioneers Conference in California, over 10,000 people view the featured plenary speakers from 21 other locations in the U.S. and Canada. The Northland Bioneers Conference, in Minneapolis/St.Paul, is one of these authorized events, where 500+ people who want everyone to benefit as organizations and individuals adopt new habits to support a sustainable future experience: the national plenary presentations via DVD, hands on workshops, 50+ exhibits and facilitated solutions-focused dialogues. A wide range of ages, experiences, roles, life circumstances, economic abilities, viewpoints, cultural traditions and faiths are essential to bringing new solutions to focus. This conference hosts a space for all to learn, listen, and contribute to actionable outcomes which will emerge over the weekend.
Hear about the most promising approaches addressing global and human health. Optimism abounds at this 2-day event, where participants are prepared to take what they've learned back to their every day lives, inspiring systemic changes that increase the vitality of their communities, homes, workplaces and education centers.
The '08 Northland Bioneers Conference was held at the University of Minnesota, Willey Hall on the West Bank. Plans for '09 are being considered.
