The International Living Future Institute will host its annual Living Future unConference at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland from May 1 to 4. The theme of this year’s event is “Authenticity and Action.”
This three-day event, now in its 12th year, will bring together individuals and organizations with unique backgrounds, experiences and personalities to talk about how to take action toward a living future. Keynote speakers will include conservationist Terry Tempest Williams, activist Raj Patel and urban revitalization strategy consultant Majora Carte.
The unConference will also feature workshops on a variety of topics related to sustainability, including biophilic design and net-positive energy, and many other educational sessions. There will also be several off-site visits, including a tour of a local sustainable winery and the Lloyd District.
For builders, sessions such as “The Water Cycle of Buildings: Net Positive Water and the Living Building Challenge Workshop,” “Tangible Change: Materials and the Living Building Challenge Workshop” or “Recruiting and Retaining a Multicultural Workforce” may be of particular interest.
