About Keynote Speaker, Matt Briggs


Matt Briggs made his directorial debut with “Deep Green.”  Shot in nine countries during the last three years, the film is based on six years of intensive environmental research in which Briggs spoke to leading authorities, attended scores of conferences, and studied hundreds of books and thousands of articles. He previously helped pioneer the wild mushroom industry in the U.S., beginning in 1981, by co-founding what quickly became the largest commercial operation in North America to collect and deliver fresh wild fungi to restaurants, specialty stores and such other clients as the White House.  The son of a college professor who later became Dean of Students for Portland State University, Briggs obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon, where he majored in both the arts and premed.  He spent another six years studying at the New England College of Chinese Medicine and San Francisco College of Oriental Medicine before obtaining his license to practice in Oregon and California.  In between, Briggs embarked on two separate global treks that gave him a traveler’s perspective on different cultures in 50 countries.
