Debra Prinz­ing, founder of the Slow Flow­ers move­ment, is offer­ing this first time: The Slow Flow­ers Vir­tu­al Sum­mit!

f you’ve want­ed to attend one of the fab­u­lous Slow Flow­ers Sum­mits at loca­tions like San Fran­sis­co, Seat­tle, Wash­ing­ton, D.C. and beyond, but it was not in your trav­el plans, we’ve got a solu­tion for you!

Now you can attend from any­where in the world this Jan­u­ary from the com­fort of your own home. Watch the pre­sen­ters while sip­ping hot cocoa by the fire and then get to par­tic­i­pate in online dis­cus­sions after each session.

From her website:

The Slow Flow­ers Sum­mit is a con­fer­ence for cre­ative pro­fes­sion­als, thought lead­ers and pio­neer­ing voic­es in the pro­gres­sive Slow Flow­ers com­mu­ni­ty. Designed to stim­u­late curios­i­ty, exam­ine con­ven­tion­al assump­tions and explore con­scious and eth­i­cal prac­tices in the flo­ral indus­try, the Sum­mit agen­da asks speak­ers and audi­ence mem­bers alike to inquire, inform, include, insti­gate and inspire.

This year’s online World­wide Sum­mit is our first ever, invit­ing atten­dees to join us from across the inter­na­tion­al Slow Flow­ers Move­ment. Inspired by the great suc­cess of the pre­vi­ous sev­en live, in-per­son con­fer­ences, Slow Flow­ers Soci­ety is stag­ing an expan­sive and inclu­sive Slow Flow­ers Sum­mit for atten­dees across the globe! This event will take place over three days ear­ly in the New Year — per­fect­ly timed for flo­ral pro­fes­sion­als and flower lovers to fill their tool­box­es with skills and tech­niques, and to uplift their goals and ambi­tions for the com­ing sea­son. Join Slow Flow­ers’ doers and thinkers for three days of pro­gres­sive ideas, con­nec­tions and inspi­ra­tion — online! — Jan­u­ary 9–11, 2025. Reg­is­tra­tion is now open!

NOTE: Your reg­is­tra­tion pro­vides full access to the Live Chat and Speak­er Q&A Ses­sions dur­ing Jan­u­ary 9–11, 2025. You will also be invit­ed to watch the replay videos of all 15 ses­sions for three months fol­low­ing the Sum­mit — through ear­ly April. That way you can enjoy the Slow Flow­ers WORLDWIDE Sum­mit when it fits your schedule!​​

The detailed sched­ule is now avail­able. Read much more about each of the 15 time­ly and incred­i­ble pre­sen­ta­tions.

We’ve writ­ten exten­sive­ly about these sum­mits in the past…the ones we’ve attend­ed and the onse we’ve missed. Now, no one has any rea­son not to attend! It’s not too late to register!
