    Bioneers Cleveland Conference

    Beaming Bioneers Cleveland Conference
    Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs
    Cleveland State University
    October 19-21, 2007

    Since 1990, the Bioneers Conference in California has gathered biological pioneers who focus on innovative biological and social strategies at the crossroads of ecology and social justice. The 18th annual “headwaters” conference will be held as always in California; Cleveland will join approximately twenty other Beaming Bioneers cities to receive the satellite downlinks of more than a dozen nationally known speakers for three half-days.

    Cleveland will join other Great Lakes cities of Detroit and Traverse City to become one of the Great Lakes Bioneers. Cleveland will build on the excitement and energy of the Bioneers conference in California and the other sites to connect the environmental, social justice, health and spiritual networks in Northeast Ohio, communicate about and celebrate the work already taking place, and serve as inspiration and a catalyst for new relationships and collaborations to improve the communities of the region. This local conference will include the beamed national plenaries, local workshops and activities and will build capacity by combining structured networking to a nationally recognized forum for environmental innovation.

    Some interesting workshops that caught my eye are on Affordable Housing in Cleveland, Connecting the Dots in Our Local Food Community and Philanthropy for Change. There are plenty more to check out, it should be extremely interesting and will also feature tours of Dike 14, local community gardens, etc!
