Friday 6 November 2009, Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire.

Keynote speakers:

  • Rob Hopkins - Co-founder of Transition Network

  • Christine Tacon - Managing Director Co-operative Farms

Special Guest Speaker:

This conference was developed as a result of the gradual coming together of two of the most important social movements of the last two hundred years.

Well what a conference it was........there was so much to see and do and hear and think about, it was fantastic.

Great big thank you to all those who helped to make it happen........So after the euphoria of a successfull event, I am now onto thinking.....what next? how do we build on the relationship that has been started between the two movements. Would love to hear peoples thoughts on this , either in this forum or you can email me at :linda.gomila@co-operative.coop

thanks
