New for 2026: For the first time ever, we are inviting MIT-led climate startups to participate in the Climate Tech Startup Showcase, a dynamic expo highlighting MIT-founded and MIT-connected ventures that are driving scalable climate impact.

Participants will enjoy a long lunch to allow for time to visit the Climate Tech Startup Showcase and to learn about how we are achieving a carbon neutral conference.

A leading CSO will explore real-world examples of how companies can grow revenue without promoting overconsumption.

In this closing plenary, we will explore if AI can or should be part of the climate solution.
