Programme available!

Finally we have reached a moment, when the Solutions local, together Conference programme is launched and the registration has started! From now on it becomes easier to explain what the conference is all about, as all the side events, praxis and the entire concept of a sustainable conference becomes a reality.

It is amazing to see the enthusiasm surrounding the topic of sustainable development at the moment. Everyone we have approached recently, has been exceptionally positive and wanted to be engaged in the process.The sustainable spirit in Turku is growing. Still there is a change to include your bit into the process or programme - so just contact us or write a comment on the blog.

Do not miss the change of being part of the conference, as places are limited! The early bird prices for individuals and groups are available when registering by the end of October 2010. All ready now several groups are being formed..

What to get from a conference

From time to time, it is good to stop and reflect when it is worth while to take part in a conference. One can question what can events in their best give to the participants. Here are some of the things listed:

• new solutions and ideas
• contacts - new and old
• innovative discussions during and between sessions
  
• motivation and inspiration, especially if more than one from the same organization is attending
• ideas on how to become more efficient and sustainable
• ideas on how to involve more stakeholders in your work
• great food and company
• getting to know something about the city where the conference is held (other than just the venue and hotel)
  
• good atmosphere
• fun!

This is what we are aiming to deliver - soon you are able to judge if our plans are able to meet your own expectations or not. The conference programme is launched on 1st of September and after that you are welcome to register with early bird prizes.
