PLAN's 2022 Conference took place in a hybrid format.

The focus of the 2022 conference was guided by our keynote from Lydia X. Z Brown: Local Actions, Massive Impact. Leading up to the conference weekend, we shared live, digital panels from students about their experiences building zero waste programs on campus. Hybrid digital and in-person workshops & field trips focused on movement-building and leadership skills, featuring a mix of speakers both local to Philly and from other organizations in the movement.

Our first-ever hybrid SZW had something for everyone, from trainings on designing campus reuse systems, coalition-building, and storytelling to a Zero Waste Fair with group art projects and drag bingo over brunch.
