Beyond Sustainability: Growing the Permaculture Movement
IPC 16 Online Conference
6th – 8th November 2026
Permaculture is anarchic by nature
The movement is driven forward by individuals and collectives all busy doing and we do not often pause to reflect on our collective impact as a movement.
We may be repeatedly solving the same issues and challenges because we lack visibility over what is happening within the movement at a larger scale or elsewhere.
Together we can make the movement visible to itself, in order to achieve greater results by working together, using our resources more effectively and amplify each others voices.
The International Permaculture Convergence IPC16 will be making visible the growing permaculture movement and include talks about how permaculture is relevant to meet the current and difficult challenges of the world.
We will be bringing together speakers from different key domains to share knowledge and best practices with the international Permaculture space and our allied networks.
The focus of this series of events sits in sustaining and creating movement coherence and cohesion: we are all on the same team!
Who is the Conference for?
We are inviting and engaging with an audience passionate about the Permaculture as a movement and active at one or more levels from Local to Global, from in-place to online.
You are the strategic movement actors that are shaping the movement including both established, up and coming:
- professionals
- activists
- organisations
- academies
- associations
- networks
Programme for the Online Conference
This is a clear and enthusiastic invitation for strategic partners to join the online conference & convergence and take the opportunity to share knowledge and best practices with the global movement as well as becoming inspired for the possibilities of collaboration and collective growth.
We have co-created a thoughtful programme to inspire permaculture practitioners, communities and organisations to see themselves as an integral part of the growing and cohesive movement that is centred around collaboration, knowledge sharing and mutual support.

The International Permaculture Collaborative Laboratory was created exactly for this purpose: for people in the movement to connect and continue the conversations between gatherings and convergences such as this one.
