[Santa Cruz, CA Permaculture] International Permaculture Convergence

[lakinroe at silcom.com]

hi Cherie
 thanks for your offer, The Australian Permaculture Association would have to come to India with a formal presentation bid in India in Nov/Dec 2017
The last IPC in Britain had approximately 500 attendee , the next one in India will have about 1000 projected attendance
The cost of hosting is a large undertaking the cost range from $500,000 in Britain to approximately $250,000 in India
The question would be if your site had the capacity to hold the event and whether the Australian PC Association is prepared to make a bid

Hope this answers so of your questions
