What is Beaming Bioneers?
Bioneers Satellite Conferences: In 2008, Bioneers has partnered with eighteen communities across the country who will produce Bioneers Satellite Conferences. The majority of these events will take place on the same weekend, featuring a live satellite presentation of the national plenary addresses from California. By linking internationally renowned speakers with local topics and experts on the ground, Bioneers Satellite Conferences inspire a potent ‘global-local’ approach towards solving local and regional problems.
Bioneers partners with local, independent community groups and organizations to produce the Satellite Conferences. While these partners are not chapters of Bioneers, they do work closely with the New Mexico based organization to organize and produce the conferences. Each spring, organizers come together for a training to discuss the upcoming year, share best practices and to continue towards building a network of communities through the annual Bioneers Conference.
Since its inception in 2001, the goal of the Beaming Bioneers Satellite program has always been to help move the stories and solutions of the Bioneers Conference into action in local communities. The program has since blossomed in ways we never could have dreamed. Beaming Bioneers Conferences have helped to pioneer new institutional food purchasing policies, inspired city commitments to climate change agreements, connected low income schools with visionary funders and helped to build bridges between disparate communities towards a healthier world.
This year Houston joins the following communities where conferences are taking place as part of the growing Bioneers Community Network.
