As we look ahead to 2026, there are several events and conferences that are on our radar.
If you are looking to connect with tech leaders across sustainability, CleanTech and the circular economy, you’ll want to be in Atlanta From March 30 to April 1.
Super South, the Summit for Sustainable Innovation and Impact, is back for its second year. Last spring, over 500 corporate leaders, early-stage founders, investors, researchers and policymakers came together at Super South. This year’s event, which will combine keynotes, workshops and an interactive Expo, is poised to be even bigger.

-
Unlock greater visibility and investment for regional innovators
-
Forge corporate and startup partnerships that accelerate adoption
-
Build a shared narrative for sustainable leadership from the Super South
-
Strengthen competitiveness across the region’s industries and cities
