Convergence Postponed: A Temporary Setback, Not a Stop
While we're incredibly excited to gather with you for the Global Earth Repair Convergence, we regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances with our venue, the Fort Worden Conference Center, we must postpone the event originally scheduled for May 9-13, 2025.
Fort Worden is currently undergoing significant changes, and the conference center will not be operational by our original date.
This is a temporary setback, and we're using this extra time to grow and expand the event—adding more inspiring speakers, building our team, and raising awareness of the importance of Earth repair. We’re still on track, and we’ll announce a new date for the event as soon as possible.
We’re aiming for September 18-22, 2025, with exciting plans in place!
In the meantime, we’ve got plenty of ways for you to stay engaged. Join our mailing list to be the first to know when registration opens and to stay up to date with upcoming events!
We appreciate your support and patience as we adapt, and we look forward to seeing you at the Convergence!
