ECO-RESTORATION ALLIANCE - INAUGURAL CONFERENCE as part of the Global Earth Repair Convergence

[Michael Pilarski]

 AND

WORKING TOGETHER TO BRING YOU ERA'S INAUGURAL CONFERENCE, May 7-10, 2026

You are invited to attend the Inaugural Conference of the EcoRestoration Alliance in partnership with the Global Earth Repair Foundation. 

Somewhat along the lines of a 3-day Town Hall with educational and networking sessions by many ERA members. 

Some ERA members will be at the in-person Convergence in Port Townsend, Washington State.  Many more can attend the online component.

From 9:00 to 10:30 am (Pacific time, Seattle) on Sunday May 10, The ERA team at the in-person conference will do a zoom call with as many ERA members as can make the call.  We can all look at each other, do some networking, use the chat, and have a short breakout session by topic or region. Our goal is the biggest assemblage of ERA members held so far.  Hence the idea of an Inaugural Conference.

Our online program will include around 150 presenters and panelists from around the world with three main broadcasting platforms

North America Program, (includes some live-streaming from the in-person Convergence)

Africa Program

Brazil, IberioAmerica Program in Portuguese and Spanish.

Each will be broadcasting during daylight hours. in their respective time-zones So there will be overlapping times at some points. 

There is a $20/day registration fee for the North America program and the Africa and Brazil programs can be accessed through that portal.  Anyone who signs up will receive further notifications.

For those who cannot afford the fee, you can easily sign up for a scholarship and will be sent a code to register for free. 

Here is the link for that online registration. https://www.globalearthrepairconvergence.com/online-program

Hi Jon,

The new logo was unveiled at a recent Town Hall and obviously I got my hands on it.  So I assumed it was okay to use it. 

If you want me to cease using it let me know.
