International Convergence
IPC8 
The 8th International Permaculture Conference and Convergence and associated events took place in Brazil between May 16th and June 8, 2007. The conference was held in downtown Sao Paulo, South America's largest city. Some 570 participants were involved from forty-two countries. Reading about IPC 8 really gives you an idea of how permaculture as an international movement is maturing. The IPCs offer the best way to meet permaculturists from around the world at one time. IPC9 will be held in southern Africa in 2009. 

You can read an excellent "Official IPC8 Report"
prepared by: Permacultura America Latina (PAL) at:
http://www.permaculture.org.uk/upload/docs/ipc8report_pal.doc.

You can also visit the official website:
www.ipc8.org 
There will be a DVD of the Conference with subtitles available. There are also links to PC groups worldwide.
