SLOW MONEY NATIONAL CONFERENCE

INAUGURAL NATIONAL GATHERING

FROM THE GROUND UP

September 10-11, 2009

Santa Fe Railyard



Slow Money. It's a new economic vision. It's an emerging network of investors, donors, farmers, and activists committed to building local food economies. It's about the soil of the economy. It's the beginning of the "nurture capital" industry.


Come to Sante Fe. Meet thought leaders and change agents from around the country. Let's build new capital markets that support preservation and restoration. Let's fix America's economy... from the ground up.
