While the calendar has featured conferences throughout the world previously, there were numerous symposiums taking place in the US that warranted coverage (as well as a few abroad, including one in Kyoto). However, seeing as how Thanksgiving falls in late November in the US, there are limited events scheduled that week.
Let us know of any conferences, events, or festivals in your area. We will gladly add them to our green events calendar. Please send us an email with the event’s name, date, location, description, and website.
Listed below are a sample of some of the conferences that may be of interest.
