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.
