Hello! We are excited to announce our fall in-person Great Lakes Bioneers Detroit conference, which will be held on October 14-15, 2022, at University of Detroit Mercy. The newly renovated Student Union will be our venue, on the McNichols campus in Detroit. Our 17th annual regional conference is a Pollinators event in partnership with the national Bioneers organization, that is, the Bioneers Collective Heritage Institute (see bioneers.org for more information on them, including great information and wonderful videos from the national conference!)

We are happy to acknowledge that the 2022 conference is supported by three generous grants, from the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, the Congregation of St. Joseph and the Fund for Equal Justice. These grants will enable us to lower the registration costs in several categories. We are looking for exhibitors and vendors. You can sign up for a table using the same eventbrite registration link that regular attendees use, and just sign up for your table there using the exhibitors or vendors option.

Please view the tours, learnshops and panels available for Oct. 14-15. In addition to the “Youth Day” organized via school attendance on Friday, we will host youth programming all day Saturday, so that families can bring their children age 12 and up.

University of Detroit Mercy is proud to have recently hosted the Great Lakes Bioneers Detroit (GLBD) conference for the third time. This conference is a National Bioneers Pollinator event. GLBD is part of the National Bioneers Pollinators Network.
