In May 2018, the International Living Future Institute[2] (ILFI) is organizing its annual Living Future[3] conference. A global community of change-makers is expected to converge in Portland from May 1 to 4 for one of the world’s leading events in regenerative design. The theme for 2018 is ‘Authenticity and Action.’
Raj Patel, research professor in the LBJ School of Public Affairs[4] at The University of Texas[5] (Austin), and Terry Tempest Williams, writer, are the keynote speakers. The conference, which will be held at Oregon Convention Center[6], will cover a range of topics, including:
- “(Don’t) Build It and They Will Come;”
- “Net Positive Water Buildings;” and
- “Opportunities for Innovation: Green Chemistry Challenges For Building Products.”
On Friday, May 4, a panel discussion will be held on “Right 2 Root: A Community-centered System for Equitable Development in N/Ne Portland.” Speakers include Cat Goughnour (Radix Consulting Group), Charles Kelley (ZGF Architects), Grayce Bentley (Healing Hues), and Gabrielle Riley (ZGF Architects).
