"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

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

Slow Money
INAUGURAL NATIONAL GATHERING
FROM THE GROUND UP
SEPTEMBER 9-11, 2009
SANTA FE RAILYARD

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

Come to Santa 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.
