ICLEI Member Meetup
This free ICLEI Member event will bring together members of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability from around the world to connect, share knowledge and experiences, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
The Member Meetup from April 25-26 will feature a series of interactive workshops, discussions, and presentations on low-emissions, nature-based solutions, resilience, equity, and climate data. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, exchange ideas with peers, and explore potential solutions to common challenges.
The Summit Welcome Reception on April 25 will provide a relaxed and informal dinner setting for participants to connect and network. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with colleagues and new contacts, share their experiences and insights, and build relationships that will support their ongoing sustainability work.
In the afternoon on April 26, participants will attend a nature session hosted at the Denver Botanical Gardens including a self-guided tour through the facility.
We welcome all sustainability professionals and elected officials from the ICLEI network to join us for the ICLEI Member Meetup to learn, connect, and collaborate with like-minded individuals from around the world. We look forward to seeing you there ahead of the Cities Summit of the Americas!
