Funding the Commons x Earth Commons SF Bay Area
Funding the Commons and Earth Commons are two independent conferences held on April 13-14th, 2024 at a single iconic venue: the David Brower Center in Berkeley, California.
Steeped in natural beauty and a history of strong activism, technological innovation, and environmental stewardship, the San Francisco Bay area boasts rich natural, cultural, academic and technological ecosystems.
The Bay Area is uniquely positioned to host productive and catalytic discussions to address pressing challenges for the benefit of humanity and the planet's ecosystems with academics, builders, funders, philanthropists & institutional investors, and much more.
In partnerships with various research labs at UC Berkeley, the event will be hosted at the David Brower Center, a LEED certified “green model” building.
We will iterate on our signature format, bringing together builders, funders, and researchers to spotlight the latest research in open source technology across many disciplines focused on creating new public goods funding infrastructure for real world implementation.
Both conferences are focused on underscoring the systemic, interdependent changes necessary for progress in both public goods and ecological regeneration.
Expect a mix of inspirational talks, workshops, networking corners, as well as office-hours with thought-leaders all held in a single venue to encourage interdisciplinary encounters.
