Since 1984, the International Permaculture Convergence has brought together practitioners from across five continents. For the 16th edition, it's Thailand's turn. A landmark event for sharing knowledge, building networks and advancing the movement.
IPC16 is built around two main events: a formal conference at a national museum in Pathum Thani, followed by a hands-on convergence at a bamboo school in the Nakhon Ratchasima countryside. Edge events such as farm visits, workshops and community gatherings extend the experience before, between and after.
