We’re pivoting our standard Expo format in response to low registration numbers and a repeated request to make the Interactive Session portion of Expo available virtually so folks who couldn’t get to Billings could participate. Thanks for letting us know. We responded!

Join us for #FutureGenMT as we together design a path for the well-being of Montana’s future generations! The pivoted event now has two parts: Part 1 in Billings, and Part 2, online.

PART 1: OCT 04-05, 2024 - Celebration Gathering | Billings, MT

Friday Oct 04: Gather in Billings for a day of fabulous local enterprise tours (see descriptions here and under individual TOUR ticket selections), and an evening potluck and celebration at Billings First Congregational Church (310 N 27th St), with our customary cake and silent auctions. Drink for free! Hand-crafted beer from Thirsty Street Brewing Co, and a selection of Montana-made and domestic wines. If you’ve not yet experienced the joy and delight of our Friday night gatherings, you are in for a treat! (Side note on the cake auction: bring your cash, the bidding gets hot!!)

Saturday morning, Oct 5: We’ll gather for a GRUFF Ancient Grain Grits “Gritogether” breakfast, coffee, and conversation. We’ll follow that with a “33 x 33 for Montana” collaborative design session for the developing campaign and alliance committed to getting 33% MT-grown food on all Montana plates by 2033. The Billings event will end on Saturday at noon.

PART 2: WINTER SEASON 2024-2025 - Virtual Interactive Sessions | Online - dates to be determined

We're moving ALL our Interactive Sessions (keynote, speaker series, panel sessions, and workshops originally scheduled for Saturday, October 5th) to a virtual format to take place over 4-8 dates in the 2024-2025 winter season. Read a detailed description of the Tracks and Sessions here. These sessions will explore in depth and unpack the Expo 2024 theme: #FutureGenMT: Designing a Path for the Well-Being of Montana’s Future Generations.

We chose this theme in honor of AERO’s founders’ clear commitment to foster the development of sustainable communities for today and generations to come, and inspired by the book #FutureGen: Lessons from a Small Country by Jane Davidson. #FutureGen details how Wales passed the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act of 2015, the first country in the world to do so.

Your EXPO PIVOT ticket purchase ($100) provides access to both PART 1 and PART 2 of the event "AERO Expo 2024 - Pivoted!".

When you buy your Expo Pivot ticket, be sure to also get a TOUR ticket (no charge).

If you wish ONLY to attend Part 2 online there will be a small "pay as you go" registration fee for the online sessions once we have those dates confirmed. Please send us a note at: expo@aeromt.org if you are interested in the online sessions, and we'll let you know when these tickets go on sale.
