The Northland Bioneers Conference will feature the EcoBucks program as a reward to volunteers who devote their time toward developing and delivering the event. Over 100 Volunteers will receive service credits called EcoBucks redeemable at participating "green" merchants in the EcoBucks Rewards Network.

Northland Sustainable Solutions, the event host, is partnering with DualCurrency Systems (DCS) to offer this unique reward program. The DCS approach enables volunteers to spend a combination of US dollars and reward currency (EcoBucks) to purchase goods and services. DCS contracts with merchants to provide customized "special promotional offers" designed specifically for this audience, and tailored to each merchant's business needs.
