Degrowth Assembly + USSEE Conference 2026
Degrowth Institute is hosting a series of events this summer in Oberlin, OH!
On June 18th, we will be hosting a Degrowth Assembly at Oberlin College.
From June 19th-21st, we will be hosting a series of degrowth sessions and a degrowth mixer at the USSEE Conference, also held at Oberlin College.
About the Events
The Degrowth Assembly will run from 9:00AM-5:00PM, and is open to the general public. Attendees of the US Society for Ecological Economics (USSEE) 2026 Conference may attend the Degrowth Assembly for free. The Assembly will focus on movement-building and hands-on workshops geared towards growing the degrowth social movement in the US.
In addition, DGI is hosting several degrowth sessions at the USSEE conference. These events are only open to USSEE Conference attendees. The degrowth sessions will be a combination of informational presentations and hands-on workshops, led by a variety of leaders in the US degrowth movement.
The workshop list and schedule for the Assembly and the degrowth sessions are coming soon!
We are also hosting an evening degrowth mixer on June 19th, will be a chance to network, socialize and enjoy music and dance.
How to Register
There are two ways to register for the Degrowth Assembly:
Register for the USSEE Conference. If you are able to do so, we encourage you to register for the 2026 USSEE Conference, so you can attend the Assembly for free, as well as attend all of our other events happening over the course of the conference.
Register only for the Degrowth Assembly. If you cannot attend the full USSEE Conference, you may still register to attend the June 18th Degrowth Assembly. However, you will not be able to attend the other degrowth sessions that are part of the conference.
