May 19 – 21: Interactive 2021 | Scaling Climate x Social Equity Solutions
May 19, 2021
Interactive is Elemental Excelerator’s annual event where technology, policy, markets, and community innovation across all systems at the root of climate change converge. It celebrates the leaders of this life-sustaining, regenerative revolution — the expected and unexpected — through film, deep conversation, and inspired action.
Thousands of years ago, the agricultural revolution led to massive land use change, turning us from a hunter-gatherer people to a society of cultivation. Hundreds of years ago, the industrial revolution brought us from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. We’ve been in the midst of a technological revolution over the last 50-100 years, driven by computing and the internet.
Each revolution ushered in enormous changes to our production patterns, societal structures, and lifestyles. Science tells us that we need to halve our emissions by 2030 to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. This will require another revolution – just as profound as the past three – to a regenerative, life-sustaining economy.

As you RSVP, indicate questions that are top of mind for you and we’ll host small group discussions around the top 10-15. Questions like how will corporate decarbonization will actually happen and what should entrepreneurs from traditionally excluded genders and ethnicities know about scaling startups keep us up at night.
