Our speakers showcase the full spectrum of diverse voices and powerful perspectives. Political figures like Jamie Raskin and Steve Schmidt have inspired and provoked. Executives like former British Petroleum CEO Lord John Browne and BlocPower Founder Donnel Baird have surprised and challenged. Psychologists like Renee Lertzman, activists like Wanjira Mathai, and scientists like Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine Hayhoe have expanded our notions of what climate change means for us as people and a society. We’re constantly adding more perspectives to our empowering conversations.
"What I get excited about is imagining what that grid of the future is going to look like, and we need to make sure that we are investing in that."
