The Nature of Power - Presented by Erica & Ernie WisnerDiegoFooter
How does our work fit into the larger goals of sustaining life on Earth? Personal global perspectives paired with a sweeping look at how we handle basic energy-transfer problems: heating, cooling, refrigeration, movement.
We explore some solid-state technologies – structures with few moving parts – that perform sophisticated tasks with simple materials. These structures take advantage of natural gradients to allow their inventors to sell shaved ice in pre-industrial deserts, cook sanitary food in a war zone while evading enemy detection, or keep a home comfortable winter and summer using little to no fuel input.

Shifting the Workload to Your Livestock - Presented by Meg GrzeskiewiczDiegoFooter
Ranching will always be hard work, but it gets much easier when your animals are working for you, instead of the other way around. “Shifting the workload” on your farm requires livestock protocols that are often completely opposite from those of commodity cattle ranching.
This presentation walks my audience through the basics of selecting and breeding, evaluating and culling grass-type beef cattle. The reasons and research behind every recommendation are discussed. All of the strategies I advocate in this presentation have been proven effective on multiple farms I have worked with.

Alternative Energy for Permaculturists. Choosing the right alternative energy...DiegoFooter
This talk will guide attendees through a decision-making framework on how to design regenerative energy plans in line with the ethics of Permaculture, while working within the confines of what Mother Nature will provide. Attendees will walk away from this talk with the knowledge on how to confidently choose the most appropriate alternative energy solution(s) for a given project.
While solar and wind routinely take center-stage, a handful of other — albeit lesser known — alternative energy technologies exist. Factors to consider are project location, climate, biome, and context (i.e. budget, goals, expectations, etc.). Based on this data, some alternative energy technologies will be deemed as “appropriate,” while others will not. For instance, biomass gasification, as a primary energy source, makes little sense in Phoenix, Arizona. However, it may likely be the primary — or even sole — technology for someone living in Missoula, Montana.
The key to crafting a decentralized, sustainable, and regenerative energy plan, is in knowing the rules of thumb for the major systems, and having a basic understanding of the “constants” in nature, whether that be wind speed profile, energy crop yields, or angles of the sun at different times of the year.
The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy will be challenging. Our current economy depletes natural resources and pollutes the environment. It can, however, be designed to provide prosperity and abundance without pollution. And although there is no singular replacement for fossil fuels, a combination of all appropriate technologies, properly applied, can effectively provide energy and fuel to all people and all places on this planet.

Forest Farming: Seeing the Forest for More Than Just the Trees - Presented by...DiegoFooter
For most of human existence, our sustenance has come from the forest. Trees and forest crops offer a range of incredible plants and fungi that can be called food-medicines, as they both nourish and restore us.
This session offers a conversation about the ways we can both conserve the ,forest while increasing the pallate of useful yields from them. To to this, a farmer must take advantage of the many microclimates and functions trees offer and also possess the long-haul vision of managing a system that develops over lifetimes rather than a single season. Learn from the stories of active forest farmers growing mushrooms, elderberry, paw paw, tree syrups, and integrating animals into their woods, and discuss the ways you can integrate more of your growing within the trees.

Stalled, Stagnated and Stuck: How to Start designing your Ideal Lifestyle Pre...DiegoFooter
The Cultivated Life Design platform helps individuals create a ruthless clarity of vision through a concise, written and conscious plan for their lives. Instead of choosing a goal and making your lifestyle work around it, design your ideal lifestyle and evaluate if a goal will make your lifestyle a reality.

What are my inherent natural gifts?
What am I perennially passionate about?
What pattern of problem do I see that needs solving in my community?
Just like in land design, where these three overlap, we have convergence of function, influence and application… a productive space producing a profitable place.
We’ll finish the session with how to create ten times the value of your ticket price by avoiding the 5 Big PV 2 Mistakes.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
