2012 National Worker Cooperative Conference

The fourth national worker cooperative conference is a celebration of worker cooperatives, an invitation to the public, and a place of congregation for worker cooperative members and supporters.

The conference is open to the public. It is also a time for members of the US Federation to come together, share stories and skills, make friends and connections, and find ways to do business together.  Conference attendees will find a variety of hands-on practical workshops, opportunities for thinking about the bigger picture, several stimulating speakers, and of course -- always -- a good party!

Please join us in Boston to continue building this dynamic, powerful and pluralistic movement of worker-owners from around the country and the world.

Spanish translation & childcare are provided.
