the ruthlessly competitive nature of the corporate business model that we now live under is the source of much of the economic crisis that we are currently experiencing. the solution is a cooperative business model; but how do we get there from here? This session is a discussion of the problems we face, the nature and structure of the cooperative business model as a solution, and how do we transition from the old to the new.

Building on the morning session, "Transition and the Local Economy, Part 1," we will now move into a World Cafe dialogue, in which we will brainstorm together responses to the following questions:

- What must be done now economically to prepare our communities for the effects of peak oil, climate change, and financial collapse?

- How can the Transition Movement support these necessary changes?

Session on how to get yourself noticed in the social media space so that:

1. inbound opportunities occur more frequently
2. you can find the resources you need
3. you get the credibility that you need and deserve

The session will focus on LinkedIn and Twitter for the kmost part.
