The MIT Sustainability Summit - an annual event
The MIT Sustainability Summit is an annual student-led event held on the MIT campus during Earth Week.
The Summit features discussions with academia, industry leaders, and expert practitioners. The day's unique focus and depth of content has led to the Summit's growing prominence, and it routinely sells out its 350-seat capacity.
As one of the world’s preeminent research universities, MIT and its five schools -- science, engineering, architecture and planning, humanities and social science, and management -- are in a unique position to bring business and societal leaders together with academic researchers and students to address challenges in sustainability.
Past Summits have featured discussions with thought leaders and expert practitioners like Jeremy Grantham (GMO), Jim Hanna (Starbucks), Mindy Lubber (Ceres), Nancy Gillis (GSA), Jeffrey Hollender (Seventh Generation), Scot Horst (USGBC), James Balog (Chasing Ice), Rick Ridgeway (VP Patagonia) and many more.
