Save the Date: Thu - Sat, November 3, 4, & 5
This is a special note to all the people who attended or participated in the 2015 People + Nature Conference. We are excited to announce that Intersections 2016 - the conference formerly known as People + Nature - will be November 3, 4, & 5, bringing together brilliant minds in conservation, urbanism, health, and equity from across the Houston region and beyond. Location, speakers, field trips, and more to be announced soon.
Very Early Registration Available Now - Only $265 (Save $80 off full registration price)
DEVELOPMENT + BIODIVERSITY
Adding 3.5 million more people could be pretty devastating for the nation’s second richest ecoregion. Or we could capitalize on this growth to provide our existing 6.5 million people with active lifestyles, abundant nature, and equitable access to the riches of a modern metropolis.
“As we build our city, let us think that we are building forever.”
SAFETY + OPPORTUNITY
An equitable future is rich with complete neighborhoods, connected to each other with frequent transit and filled with nature, public spaces, jobs, commerce, and human diversity. Providing for the comfort of the most vulnerable, from the eight year old child to the eighty year old to people with disabilities, is the sure way to make a safe city with safe streets for all.
“The people are the City.”
LOVE + HAPPINESS
Intersections 2016 will show us how to dream and do again. We sent a human to walk on the surface of the moon. Surely we can build a city where most kids walk to school. We pulled the jurassic age out of the earth to fuel the modern era. Surely we can preserve the best remaining wetlands, prairies, woods, and creatures that share our home.
“Freedom. Equality. Justice. Council.”
Join us at the intersection of our heritage and our destiny. Again this year, 100% of net proceeds from the conference will benefit the Texas Children in Nature - Houston collaborative and the vision of nature every day for every child in the Houston region.
Take advantage of the Very Early Registration price today. This is only valid through April 21 when the prices will go up, and registering today helps us move forward with bringing the speakers, partners, and ideas together. Think of this like the Free Press Summerfest's blind presale. You know this is going to be a great conference.
The first public save the date will go out March 21st. Contact Caitlin McNeely by email or call the office at 713-523-5757 if you're interested in sponsorship opportunities or you can go ahead and become a sponsor online.
