What is the Community Exchange Network?

Collaboration -- that's what we do here. The primary purpose of this site is to provide interactive space for members of local CES exchanges to share perceptions, problems, resources and successes. Newcomers are welcome too!
Registered with a local CES exchange? You already know the value of trading goods and services without using conventional money. Join in the activities here on this site. See below for ways you can get involved.

Not registered with a local exchange? Find a Group in the list of Groups below and join it. You'll receive timely announcements of activities. After that you can register with the exchange by clicking the Register CES tab above.

Considering setting up your own local exchange? Join the "What's involved?" user group. Explore. Talk to others like yourself who are mulling it over.

Business Owners As a business person, you're wondering what's involved with associating your business with trading exchanges. Talk with other businesses on this site.
