Planet Local Summit

The Planet Local Summit is a project of Local Futures, an international nonprofit and pioneer of the localisation movement. The Summit will shine light on localisation as a solution-multiplier and bring attention to the worldwide grassroots movement that is unfolding. Central to this movement is a focus on the local food economy, but it also embraces local business alliances, decentralised renewable energy systems, local finance and more.
Building on Local Futures’ networking and movement-building endeavours over four decades, the Summit will bring people together face-to-face from every continent, with the aim of forging a broad, international and visionary agenda for change.
Programme
Friday, 29 September – Sunday, 1 October, 2023
Come prepared for three full days of engaging talks, on-stage conversations and breakout sessions. There will also be music, comedy, interactive games, yoga and cultural offerings.
A rare opportunity to connect and network with like-minded people from around the world as well as closer to home. In other words, an unmissable blend of analysis, inspiration and celebration!
The Summit starts on Friday morning at 9am and ends late afternoon on Sunday at 6pm. Friday and Saturday include an evening session until 9pm and will be held at the St George’s Bristol. Sunday’s event will take place at the Tobacco Factory Theatres in Southville, Bristol. Click Venues for directions.
We will be mapping out the programme – we already have more than 80 speakers – in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned for updates!
