Friday, October 6th, 10 AM – 4 PM Eastern Time
Please give us your contact info by clicking the button below if you want to join the conference. We will send you the Zoom link a few days before the conference starts.
Timing: Attendance during the first hour is encouraged because we will create the conference themes together. It is warmly preferred if you come for a big chunk of the day because conversations evolve throughout the day. Tip: Since it will be a long day, get some food and drinks, maybe even sit in nature. (conference time in your current time zone)
Structure: We invite you to bring questions, themes, comments, and ideas. This conference follows the open-space conversation style. During the first hour, we will collect everyone’s themes & ideas. Then, we will create break-out rooms based on emergent themes and switch between break-out sessions and whole group reflections.
Offers for help are received with joy: we need help organizing in the background, planning, and simple facilitation.
You are warmly invited to the conference even if you did not participate in a retreat. General topics will be the integration of activism, peace work, social justice efforts, and engineering.
