Students for Zero Waste Conference
2023 Program

Tune into this year's 3-day conference in-person at Swarthmore College or digitally.

Friday evening will start off the conference weekend with affinity group breakouts and PLAN's signature "Unconference" — informal, attendee-led discussion groups to break the ice. Saturday is the fullest conference day with a keynote and welcome, three concurrent panel session blocks, and group meals. Panels are sorted into three tracks: Finding Your Point of Intervention, Building A Liberated Future, and Re-Defining Zero Waste. Follow all of the sessions within a track, or mix and match based on your interest! Finally, Sunday will consist of group field trip activities ranging from a hands-on art project, volunteering with a local organization, an environmental justice tour, and a virtual tour option. View the schedule overview below, and note that specific sessions and speakers are subject to change.
