2020 Virtual Northeast Permaculture Convergence July 24-26

The in-person 2020 Northeast Permaculture Convergence is being postponed until July 16-18, 2021. The event will still be held at D Acres Permaculture Farm and Homestead in Dorchester, NH. While communities are localizing, staying home, and tending to themselves and loved ones, AND with the threat of COVID-19 spreading amidst larger group gatherings, we felt it was our responsibility to the health and wellbeing of the northeast permaculture network to recalibrate and move the in-person event to next summer. 

PAN and the organizing team are excited to offer the northeast permaculture network a virtual alternative of the convergence this summer that includes webinars, digital panels and roundtables, and interactive events. This will take place from July 24 to July 26. All content for the virtual convergence will be recorded. Even if you cannot attend the event in-person, you will still receive access to all sessions, talent show, and designer’s lounge recording!

To Register for the 2020 Virtual Northeast Permaculture Convergence:

Our goal is to keep this event affordable for everyone in the network. We are asking folks to pay a sliding scale fee of $10-100 for access to this virtual event that will include digital recordings of all the sessions, participation in the designer’s lounge, and the option to participate in a fun, engaging talent show. To register for this event and to purchase an online ticket please click here. Once you complete the registration, there will be a link that directs you to the ticket purchasing webpage where you can finalize your purchase. PAN will send you the Zoom log in information and event details in a follow up confirmation email during the week of the event.
