Schedule (2023)

Note: Skills Sessions have a diverse selection of Speakers:  Many of the speakers have been selected by our board of directors based on their known skill, knowledge in their field and the ability to share such in this space. Some of the speakers have been welcomed based on the “open spaces” model. By this model we have opened spaces for additional members of the community for every voice to have a space.  We encourage each member of this community when selecting an skills village class to join or leave classes as desired in a free flow.
