National Cohousing Conference; Sustainability through Community 2010

The national cohousing conference is THE place to be for aspiring cohousers, cohousing residents, cohousing professionals, and community experts. Come for the content, leave inspired by the people, and learn why many return to the conference year after year.

This year’s theme, Sustainability through Community, connects two parallel movements, as conference chair Jim Leach explains in his conference invitation letter.

Coho U – two-day pre-conference intensives – will highlight the links between the two movements and will include a course on sustainability. During the main conference, all four featured speakers will explore sustainability and its relationship to community.

We’ll also be walking the talk by making this conference more sustainable than ever before. We’ll provide non-disposable cups and use zero-waste plates and tableware. Our keynote speaker, Bill McKibben, will join us via video with live Q&A. And all of this will take place at the beautiful University of Colorado campus in Boulder, Colorado, a city renowned for its commitment to sustainability.
