Wynfrey Hotel- Birmingham, AL
Next week Green House adopters from around the nation will gather in Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 7-9 for the Fourth Annual Green House Meeting and Celebration.
The annual meeting is an exclusive time for Green House Project adopters to share, learn and celebrate their achievements! This year we’re also excited to invite our supporters to join the conversation taking place in Birmingham via social media.
We will feature live-streaming video of select conference events right here from the Green House blog. Watch keynote addresses from Green House Project founder Dr. Bill Thomas and Pioneer Network CEO Dr. Peter Reed and learn what life’s really like in a Green House directly from elders living at The Green House Cottages at St. Martin’s in the Pines in Birmingham.
Time and dates for live streaming sessions are listed below.
