No more boring sustainability conferences. No more design conferences that have one sustainability break-out session.

The Climate Designers Party Program will be 100% focused on climate.

We’re putting our flag in the ground and declaring that saving the planet is gonna be fun.

Say it with us, “No more DOOM & GLOOM.” We don’t know who decided sustainability conversations had to be b-o-r-i-n-g and d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-n-g, but we’re droppin’ the mic on that and peacin’ out like the cops just busted up our 8th grade game of spin the bottle.

The Party Program will be 100% focused on design.

And by design, we mean all of it, every industry, every specialty, and every project. Starting now, design has to be inclusive, in every way.

That includes reaching across party lines and collaborating with designers in other fields. It’s gonna take all of us to get this mess under control, and we know the mix is going to be as culture-shifting as when NY Underground DJs mixed soul, funk, and Latin music with an intense four kick drum pattern and created disco.

If you’re ready to stop choosing sustainability as a track and start having fun while designing change, join us.
