I’ll be speaking at the Better Living Show in Portland, OR on Saturday. The topic is “Meaningful Communities.” I’ll be focusing on how online communities are changing lives and, in particular, are key to helping society move toward a more sustainable future.
I’ve got some good stories to share, and hopefully folks will leave with some kernels of inspiration and motivation to get more involved in communities beyond their local environs.
My talk is on the main stage at 1pm this Saturday, March 28th. The Better Living Show expo is expected to have over 20,000 attendees, hundreds of booths with natural products and services, and lots of entertainment options – and admission is free.
If you’re in the Portland area, I hope you’ll come by – I’d love to meet you!
