Bioneers Southeast Forum Update
Document Actions
ifPeople was proud to sponsor the Bionees Southeast Forum in Atlanta, which happened October 28-30. Three days of inspiring talks, engaging sessions, and social activities to strengthen the community and local collaboration around solutions to challenges facing the region. The event concluded by lives on through the activities of the Bioneers community and Inspiring Futures, the co-host of the event.
ifPeople has supported Inspiring Futures and its activities as a
catalyst for a stronger, more collaborative community in Atlanta. To
that ends, ifPeople sponsored the Bioneers Southeast Forum and also helped launch a Business Alliance for Local Living Economies Atlanta
(BALLE Atlanta). Tirza Hollenhorst, President of ifPeople, also
coordinated the volunteer committee that organized the conference.
The event atracted over 300 people and had dozens of local sessions plus the plenary speakers of the Bioneers conference held in CA. The content and a scrapbook are being compiled and will be posted on the Inspiring Futures web site (also provided by ifPeople).
