Margie Bushman & Wes Roe will be speaking on the importance of the 
International Permaculture Convergence gatherings, which they have attended 
since 2005. Traditionally, IPC's take place every two years and switch 
between continents. Past host sites have been in Australia, USA, New Zealand, 
Scandinavia, Nepal, Croatia, Brazil, Africa, Jordan, Cuba, and most recently, 
London & the UK, with the next IPC scheduled for India in 2017.
For the permaculture community, the International Permaculture Convergences 
(IPC's) are hugely important. Why is there a global permaculture movement? 
What makes it continue to influence and inspire people, not only in theory, 
but in hard practical examples of living solutions around the globe? 
Projects, actual working design strategies, practical skills, and experiences 
are shared at a Convergence on a personal level, it's an amazing experience 
for all. This is the "culture" in permaculture, our chance to learn about our 
friends around the globe.
