The Peaceable Kingdom Conference is the only conference whose goals are to: respect animals’ emotions and intelligence; increase our reliance on plant-based foods; be kind to Earth, its inhabitants, and ourselves; and, strengthen the human-animal bond.  There is a $30 per person registration fee; and pre-registration is required due to limited seating.  The registration fee includes a vegan lunch catered by CulinArt Group and a donation to the American Anti-Vivisection Society.  The student registration rate is $20 per person.  Register online at http://tickets.bucks.edu/2nd-annual-peaceable-kingdom-conference.  Seating is limited so register today!  The first Peaceable Kingdom Conference sold out.

The featured speakers and exhibitors are prominent community leaders in animal welfare, agriculture, rescue, science, spirituality, and social justice.  The Peaceable Kingdom workshops emphasize the conference goals, invite participants to examine their personal relationship with animals, and encourage participants to be open to adopting plant-based eating in small ways.
