ABOUT THE NENA 2023 CONFERENCE

It’s been said that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. But today’s climate change, environmental decline and social justice challenges are forcing societies to rethink our economic systems and social governance. Capitalism – the system that enables a small group of people to accumulate wealth by extracting and controlling resources, at the expense of the majority of people and our planet – hasn’t always been the dominant human governance system and will not be in place forever. So what could life be like after capitalism? What might our society and economy look like? These are the questions NENA is exploring in our 2023 Conference.

NENA’s conferences are an opportunity for NENA members and friends to meet, connect, share ideas and share updates about their work. We hope you can join us! ** PLEASE NOTE: our 2023 Conference is IN PERSON ONLY **
