International Permaculture Convergence

IPC – International Permaculture Convergence is a global exchange of permaculture design practitioners. IPC has been held every 2~3 years since 1984, hosted in a different region each year by local practitioners . The main preparatory work is organized by the IPCC (IPC Committee) in cooperation with the current organizers.  International Permaculture Convergence is a not-for-profit international exchange event for global permaculture practitioners. It upholds the three permaculture ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. The host of each IPC is responsible for raising funds to make the event happen. Thus a successful IPC relies on the efforts of many volunteers, and on material and financial resources donated by sponsors. We invite you to share any surplus resources! This will help us bring the registration fee down to allow more people — especially economically disadvantaged people in developing countries—to join this extraordinary event.

If you would like to provide scholarship opportunities or simply donate to IPC preparation work, please contact us.  We look forward to meeting you in IPC15.
