Central Coast Bioneers is a licensed Bioneers beaming site. That means the presentations of leading social and scientific innovators speaking at the Bioneers conference in San Rafael will be transmitted live to Central Coast attendees. Sixteen of the world’s brightest social entrepreneurs, scientists, NGO leaders, women leaders, educators, indigenous leaders and others will present brand new, cutting- edge ideas for making communities strong and resilient.

The “beamed” content is just the beginning. Central Coast Bioneers also presents live, on-site speakers, hands-on workshops and local field trips designed to address regional interests.

 

People such as best-selling author Gail Sheehy and Jason McClellan, international thought-leader in the green architecture movement will be in San Luis Obispo for lectures and book signings.

 

Twenty-five speakers and panelists will share their expertise at local afternoon workshops and presentations. Topics include green gardening, the dangers of water privatization, keeping our food supply local and sustainable, lessons to help consumers & green business owners avoid “greenwashing,” conservation of the Salinas River corridor, and many more.

 

There will be demonstration projects and field trips related to aquaculture, green building and storm water conservation. There will also be yoga and a seed exchange.

 

 

The founders of Ecologistics, Inc., presenters of Central Coast Bioneers, were inspired by the people and messages at Bioneers conferences they attended in Marin County.  As Central Coast residents, they knew people in the counties of Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara would enjoy sharing this kind of energy and inspiration with members of their own region.
