Beyond Sustainability : A conference for people interested in technologies and education to improve the environment, humanity and equity.

This conference is for those who believe that we need to make serious changes in what we value and how we measure and call “ Success” “ Advanced” or “ Developed Society”. Its aim is to share with and support people who care about our footprint on this earth.

If your field touches on: Computing, Development, Ethics, Morality, Business, Technology, Education or Philosophy ….. and you are active in increasing global consciousness on human impact and responsibility on this earth , then please visit the website and consider contributing to this conference. We can no longer be content with sustaining the environment, our technologies and living philosophies must be focussed on IMPROVING it.

Conference Philosophy

This conference is one where people who are prepared to think and act outside the normal doctrines of first world prevalence can come and safely share their thoughts, work and experiences.

It is being held in Thailand near the Laos border because this region is predominantly Buddhist where the importance of spirituality and connectedness with nature form the foundations of all practices, including those of teaching technology at tertiary level.

This conference is a chance to make links with a wonderfully peaceful people from a unique part of the world. It is an opportunity to give and to receive and to share. Our hope is part of your heart will stay here and part of the experience will travel with you always.

Bring your research, your case studies, your desire to learn and share, your humbleness and love and hope of providing a safer cleaner world for our children and future generations.
