Primary sessions for the North American 
Permaculture Convergence (NAPC) will be Wednesday 
- Friday, building on the working groups and 
efforts from the 1st NAPC as well as the last 
International Permaculture Convergence held in 
the United Kingdom. In addition to the working 
groups, there will be a number of tracks, 
workshops, and open space geared towards sharing 
advanced permaculture skills and expanding 
efforts in the permaculture movement at large. 
The NAPC is a fantastic opportunity to dive in, 
network, and broaden your depth of connections 
and skills in the Permaculture Movement. Working 
groups for the NAPC, as well as workshop content, 
will also continue throughout the  entire weekend.
