The conference attendees will spend part of the day learning about these great ideas and part of the day strategizing about how to move forward and how to build on the 10% Shift, both in our own communities and region-wide.

This event is being organized by the New England Local Business Forum and hosted by the Portland Independent Business and Community Alliance.
