Bioneers Conference :: San Rafael, CA. Oct 15 - 17.

The annual Bioneers Conference, held each year in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, CA is coming up again.

I went through the program and picked out some things that I wouldn't want to miss, if I were going to Bioneers this year (which I am not):

Two panels:

Generation Ahead: New Legions of Activists Share How Leadership Is Inspired, Activated & Sustained
Join inspiring emerging leaders at the forefront of environmental and social change movements for a lively conversation. Moderated by Anisha Desai, Director of New Leaders Initiative and Brower Youth Awards at the Earth Island Institute. With Jessy Tolkan, Political Director of Green For All; Rachel Barge, Program Director of the Business Council on Climate Chnage; Shadia Fayne Wood, founder of Project Survival Media, a global network of youth journalists; and Annie Loya, Executive Director of Youth United for Community Action.


In The Groove: Cultural & Social Change Through The Power of Music
Music and the community it creates have shaped our culture and politics. Explore the cutting-edge of how musicians and music industry activists are catalyzing environmental and social change. With host Michael Martin, founder and CEO of Effect Partners and MusicMatters; Brian Allenby, General Manager of Reverb, a non-profit that engages musicians and their fans to promote environmental sustainablity; others TBA.
