Following my attendance at the last Katoomba conference on Marine Payment for Ecosystems Services (PES) that I attended in Palo Alto (and blogged about here) I’ve been retained by Forest Trends to assist with the development of a stronger on-line presence for the next Katoomba event.

Scheduled for June 23rd and 24th in Hanoi, Vietnam, the meeting will bring together policy-makers, farmers, financiers, and others whose lives and livelihoods depend on preserving the region’s living ecosystems.

My job is to bring the event to a much, much larger audience than any of the previous Katoomba conferences using, yes you guessed it, social media.  You can view the conference website at http://live.katoombagroup.org.  All sessions will have video, audio and written resources added over the coming weeks.  Sessions will be videoed and uploaded live during the event.

You can follow @KatoombaGroup on Twitter where I’m posting general PES news as well as conference news.

You can join The Katoomba Group Facebook group here.

And you can join The Katoomba Group on LinkedIn here.

We are welcoming contributions of content from anyone with an interest and expertise in the field.  So please get in touch if you have something to offer.  I’m sure more posts will be forthcoming on this topic as it starts ramping up in my work load.
