Limited Edition Be-In 15 poster by San Francisco artist Wendy Wright		Thanks to all for making Digital Be-In 15 a resounding success on all levels! Profound gratitude for everyone’s contribution to this landmark event! This year’s theme – and the spirit of the times – brought hundreds out early (on a cold, rainy San Francisco evening) for the info- and passion-intense 2-hour Biomimicry Symposium. Hundreds more joined in as the night evolved from Symposium to Activation Celebration and upstairs from the Take Action Zone to the Ambiotica Salon. Live blogs were posted to Urth.TV, and the Virtual Be-In attendees listened to the live stream of the Symposium. Truly a successful launching pad for sustainability initiatives that matter!

ABOUT THE THEME

Biomimicry is a cross-disciplinary methodology that draws design guidance from the elegant systems and technologies of the natural world. The biomimicry movement is taking on broader and more exciting applications in the context of fast-emerging “CleanTech” and green technology initiatives, as well as our urban, resource management, farming, economic and social systems. The Digital Be-In is pleased to be working with the Biomimicry Institute and other expert groups in exploring this vital 2007 theme.
