How can we work together to create a fundamentally different economic system and a more beautiful world?

The goal of this 3-day ideas festival is to explore and explain how we can shift direction—from a single globalized market towards economies that support renewal, resilience and greater human and planetary wellbeing. This gathering will emphasize the systemic root cause of our many interconnected ecological, social and economic crises, and identify key strategic shifts towards economic localization that can solve them. Tickets can be found here.

Within this context, the 2020 Conference has three key themes:

1. Understanding the dominant economic system and global market and its impact on democracy and local economies.
2. Showcasing and amplifying strategies for reclaiming local economies for the benefit of people and planet.
3. Stories of success - challenging corporate domination of national, regional and local economies.
