On August 29th to 31st, 2014 the first North American Permaculture
Convergence will be held at Harmony Park, a 40-acre outdoor events venue in
Clarks Grove, Minnesota with a permaculture installation and on a gorgeous
lake. Permaculture professionals and practitioners of all ages will connect
with their peer group to make this first continent-wide convergence an
historic event.
Permaculture is a system of ecological design that strives to use local and
renewable resources to create resilient and abundant human systems,such as a
backyard garden, a farm, or a town.
The North American Permaculture Convergence is an opportunity for
permaculturalists to network and exchange ideas and knowledge. Join us for
educational workshops, hands-on demonstrations, networking, discussion
groups, round tables, children's permaculture adventures, entertainment,
music, a permaculture exposition, and local, organic fare. Special topics at
the convergence will include – permaculture education systems, curriculum,
regional design nuances, and continent-wide movement building.
A series of workshop intensives and site tours, featuring Toby Hemenway, Jude
Hobbs, Mark Shepard and others will be held in the days before and after the
North American Convergence.
Early bird tickets are only $200 until August 15th! For event registration,
please visit our website.

Four things that would be helpful to boost the event:
A banner-size graphic that advertises the event. I have five websites,
and could put it up there.
A properly sized FB cover advertising the event, where the FB profile
picture doesn't obscure anything important. I would put that up on my
FB page and also on my permaculture page at FB.
A FB Profile size webfitti graphic, I would use that too as my profile pic.
A a standard blurb about the event -- not exactly a press release, but
maybe four paragraphs touting the event and encouraging attendance? If
so I and others could send that out on other listservs.
More ambitious would be an INFOGRAPHIC about the event.
