Why attend
Cross-disciplinary breakthroughs
We design sessions where climate scientists, AI researchers, biostatisticians, and policy leaders co-create evidence-based solutions. Expect formats that push beyond silos to accelerate understanding.
Curated debates, not just talks
Moderated roundtables and structured rebuttals encourage respectful disagreement and deeper insight. Every session is engineered for clarity, reproducibility, and practical outcomes.
Real publishing pathways
Top-rated submissions receive editorial guidance and introductions to partner journals and proceedings. We prioritize transparent review criteria and author development.
