Planetwork “brings a collaborative systems view rooted in conscious evolution to sustainability & technology.” What does that mean? Well for me it meant meeting up with some of the most interesting people I know. And in April, following Green Festival in Seattle, the Planetwork folks are staging their first conference for a while:
The unMoney Convergence is an interactive (un)conference on the systemic transformation of money and its connection to the social transformation of the planet as a whole. Everyone who comes is welcome to present (the format will be 80% open space technology.
The purpose of the convergence is to support an inclusive conversation, collective disernment, exploring potential for collaboration and action bringing together those engaged in a range of different efforts from the edge of the ‘conventional’ to very experimental. This includes, social venture and entreprenurship, micro-credit, slow money, complementary currencies, open money, ecological accounting, monetary systems theory, value network mapping, barter networks etc.
There will be a thematic thread through the conference synergy with technology developmets in digital identity, mutual credit creation, value measurement and wealth acknowledgment.
This event is being co-organized by Kaliya Hamlin, Chris Lindstrom and Bill Aal. It’s organizational sponsors include Planetwork, RSF Social Finance, E.F. Schumacher Society Current Innovation and Tools for Change.
