Global Earth Repair Convergence & Festival — Updates & New Dates
Big news! The Global Earth Repair Convergence & Festival is moving forward—with new dates, a more flexible format, and a commitment to accessibility and resilience.
Due to the unexpected closure of hospitality services at our original venue, Fort Worden, we’ve postponed the event from May to September 18-22, 2025. We are incredibly grateful to Fort Worden for hosting us previously and wish them well as they navigate their next chapter.
Our new plan allows us to adapt the scale of the event based on interest and funding. We’ve reserved the Jefferson County Fairgrounds as well as Fort Worden again for presentations and most of the conference sessions.
The Fairgrounds have 2 commercial kitchens and camping for up to 1,000. Fort Worden has 10 classrooms fully set up for live-streaming and/or video conferencing, making the setup much easier than it was last time (in 2019)
We plan to have plenaries, keynotes, musical numbers, brief speeches at circle gatherings, and combo panels of in-person and online participants.
If you’re camping at the fairgrounds, no worries about missing content—your ticket includes access to the digital librarya. Zoom recordings will be uploaded for free access 4 weeks after the event, while higher-quality edits of keynotes and music performances will be rolled out on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, and Instagram.
So pencil it in: September 19–21. Follow us for updates and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to hear when registration reopens and the final venue plan is confirmed.
The Global Earth Repair Convergence & Festival brings together leading voices from around the world to unite in a joyful, strategic, and grounded effort to regenerate ecosystems and cool the planet. With over 70 committed presenters thus far, we are co-creating a vibrant community space with live music, art, ceremony, hands-on workshops and deep discussion.
From agroecology to rehydration strategies, from Indigenous wisdom to grassroots organizing, from hands-on workshops to global policy, GERCF 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark event for planetary healing.
The need is great! The time is now!
