Profit literally means “to make progress”. But in a world of fast money where people and planet are often removed from transactions, are we really progressing? By slowing money down we can reshape our local economy and establish communities and businesses that address our most pressing social and environmental problems. Come learn what’s possible in Calgary.

The evening will include thought-provoking and inspirational presentations from:

Woody Tasch – Founder and chairman of the Slow Money Alliance and “the prophet of modest profit” - click here to read an interview with Woody Tasch.

Kris Vester – Owner of Blue Mountain Biodynamic Farms & president of Slow Food Calgary

Rob Sinclair – Owner of Conscious Brands™ and community mortgage innovator

"Slow Money gets right to the heart of everything that's ailing our economy and corroding our culture. . . It offers a formula for a new kind of capitalism in which  farmers' markets and stock markets both flourish.''

        -Kerry Trueman, Huffington Post
