Without the people, Black Rock City is merely a desert. So how do 70,000 people from wildly different communities originating in every far flung corner of the globe live and gather together in harmony? Join us and our speakers from Yummy RUMinations; JOBI: Coffee, Tea or Me?; FAFA Camp; YOUniversal; and from open camping, as they share their stories, learnings, and lessons on what it means to be a good neighbor both on and off playa. We'll answer any questions you may have about cultivating, fostering, and positively impacting communities large and small.
