The planning committee has held our annual January retreat and we are gearing up for the 6th annual Great Lakes Bioneers Conference in Traverse City.
We can’t do it with out participation from conference goers though, and we’re asking for your ideas about how to improve the already successful event. We plan on tweaking the schedule, adding open space workshops and creating more community space/time.
Do you have any suggestions? Let us know.
