FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 16, 2011
Central Coast Bioneers brings speakers, activities to San Luis Obispo

Registration now open for popular October conference


San Luis Obispo, CA — Bioneers, a popular annual conference held for  
21 years in Marin County, will be represented locally at the second  
annual Central Coast Bioneers conference in San Luis Obispo.  Central  
Coast Bioneers is a project of Ecologistics, Inc., a local non-profit  
agency dedicated to finding breakthrough solutions for people and  
planet.

Registration is now open for the conference, held October 14, 15 and  
16, 2011 at the San Luis Obispo Vet’s Hall. Attendees can choose to  
attend all offerings over the 3 day event, or select from weekend,  
single day, select field trips and events or “sampler pass” options.  
Student pricing is also available.

Bioneers is a gathering of scientific and social innovators who have  
demonstrated visionary and practical models for restoring the Earth  
and communities. The San Rafael conference regularly draws thousands  
of attendees.

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.

Live beamed presentations will feature sixteen well-known speakers,  
including Philippe Cousteau, Gloria Steinem, Chinese journalist and  
award-winning filmmaker John Liu, and Amory Lovins, Chairman and Chief  
Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

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.

Registration and more information about Central Coast Bioneers,  
speakers and topics is available at their website, http://www.ecologistics.org/centralcoastbioneers/ 
  or by calling (805) 548-0597.
