Sustainability Weekend 2018

Sustainability Weekend is a 3-day conference that aims to showcase the larger context of sustainability beyond the environment and bring people to the table who may not normally engage with one another on this topic. This year's theme 'Sustainability, Inclusivity and Equity' seeks to bring students, professionals, and community members together through informational and interactive events and spark diverse conversations about the role of sustainability across industries, socio-economic backgrounds, ages and passions. We will be covering a diverse range of topics including social injustice, food waste, getting involved with the local community, technology, and the role of arts and expression. We hope we see yinz there!
