About Us

Summit organizers are dedicated to hosting an experience that is respectful, representative of and accountable to our partners and participants. Below are the commitments, focused on People, Land (Place) and Food, that we are striving towards with the design and implementation of this summit:

• Center our commitment to an equitable and just movement within all aspects of the summit’s planning, engagement and practices.
• Creating a welcoming environment that considers the needs and comfort of all  attendees with particular focus on responding to ability, religion, race ethnicity, and LGBTQ+.
• Increase accessibility by creating a gathering that is conscious of the cost associated with participation, strives for affordability and includes opportunities for financial support.
• Is respectful and engages with the local communities and economy, including acknowledging Native and indigenous people and their traditional lands the gathering will be hosted on.
• Centralizing the voices of young professionals in a meaningful way.
• Decreasing the summit’s environmental impact by working with vendors, partners and participants to incorporate thoughtful actions and limiting waste.
• Sustainable, Enlightening Food Service 

We are centering a commitment to building an equitable gathering, one that works to dismantle oppressive structures by fostering inclusion and justice. We acknowledge and celebrate diversity, and commit to ongoing dialogue, learning and building a more liberated system together.
