In collaboration with the Speculative Futures New England chapter this will be the first session in a series of Transition Design Salons. These sessions are open to a global audience and event times may be adjusted in the future to accommodate more timezones. This first session will be hosted at 8am PST (Seattle, WA) / 10am CST (Austin, TX) / 11am EST (Boston, MA), 1pm GMT-3 (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) / 4pm GMT (Edinburgh, UK).
The intent of this series, like a traditional salon style gathering, is to bring people together to excite one another and increase our knowledge through conversation. We'll be convening remotely from all around the globe.
Historically salons have acted as important places for the exchange of ideas. Through this series we will discuss Transition Design and exchange ways in which methods from the field of Transition Design can be applied in varied contexts lightly guided by our Panelists who have experience in Academia, the Private Sector, and the Public Sector.

🍕Food + Drink
Since this will be a virtual event we won't be providing food or drink.
We encourage members of Speculative Futures Austin to support local small businesses acutely affected by COVID-19 and to support the most marginalized and at-risk members of our Austin community.
You could make a meal with ingredients from a service like Good Apple: https://bit.ly/2IWoWsg
You can also donate what it would cost to buy a meal at a restaurant to an organization serving at risk populations like Meals on Wheels:
