Learn More about the Party Program
This page will be updated as more information becomes available.
What type of events will there be?
Oh, so many; panels, showcases, Q&As, DJ sets, and even a comedy set. But, don’t think of these events are typical, boring one-sided conversations. We’ll try our hardest to make these events interactive for everyone joining. What’s the point of coming to a party if you’re just going to sit in the corner and watch other people have fun?
Is this going to be another boring virtual event?
See above.
Wait. This is two whole weeks? I can’t afford to take that much time off.
Don’t worry. This won’t be an all day/every day type of conference. Sessions will be spread throughout the twelve days. We’re scheduling sessions in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Some days might just have one event and other days might have two.
What’s the money from ticket sales being used for?
The ticket sales will go towards paying our speakers and volunteers for their time and energy towards making a great experience for attendees. We also need to pay for both the event website and the video conference platform. The money left over will be invested back into Climate Designers; paying for our online community platform, podcasting duties, website hosting, etc.
What if I can’t make all of the live sessions?
We’ll record all of the sessions so you can watch them when you can.
Who should attend this party?
We welcome designers from all walks of life. Anyone pushing pixels, making videos, creating experiences, building spaces, sewing threads, etc. No matter what creative field you’re into, we’ll have something for you.
There are plenty of design events and tons of climate conferences. Why do you need more of these types of events?
This is the only event created for designers by designers focused 100& on climate action. Sure, there are design events that include sustainability in a session or two, and maybe even some climate events mention design. This is not either of those. This is 100% a career development conference for designers who want to build a career making climate impact.
And no other event combines all aspects of design industries to talk to designers as a whole, it is always siloed into specific buckets based on what is produced.
Oh, and most conferences focusing on climate change or sustainability are very business-like, lifeless, and boring (let’s be real). Nobody makes this topic fun, let alone a “party”. And, they never focus on a 100% creative professional audience.
I love what you’re doing. How can I support this summit?
We are looking for mission-aligned orgs that can help us produce a great event with sponsorship and partnership opportunities. If you can help, check out our sponsorship deck or shoot us an email, hello@climatedesigners.org. Thanks!
