Badger Bioneers Conference

            
     
The Madison Region has proven to be an engine of ideas and an incubator of creative business solutions, with a vital connection to its natural setting.

On December 12 and 13 of this year, Sustain Dane will host its Fourth Annual Badger Bioneers Conference at the University of Wisconsin.  This two-day experience will create a nexus for the hottest new ideas and visionaries working in sustainability for the region and the nation.

The Badger Bioneers Conference is a chance to bring everyone under one tent, to provde space for building new relationships, and to push for implementation of bold thinking throughout the Madison Region. 

Panelists and facilitators are local CEOs, teachers, Nobel Prize laureates, superintendents, and enthusiasts with real-world solutions to real-world problems.  This year, we are partnering with the University of Wisconsin and Global Health Institute to create a compelling and interactive program, focusing on the complex interplay between Climate Change, Energy Use, Human Health, and the Economy.  As always, at the heart of the conference are TED-style talks from local sustainability heroes, and the most inspiring plenaries from the national Bioneers conference held each October in California.
