LA Climate Week 2025 — Event Guide

We are now accepting event submissions until March 31, 2025, 11:59 PST. We encourage you to apply as early as possible to maximize impact, reach, and inclusion. Make sure to read the event submission process below to submit your event.

HOW IT WORKS...

Whilst the LA Climate Week Steering Committee and Organizing Team work on operations, key initiatives, logistics, amplification, and creating the overall platform, LA Climate Week is ultimately made possible by the many organizations, businesses, and institutions that will host climate events throughout the week. Event hosts are responsible for ideating, organizing, and covering the costs of their events. All event submissions will be reviewed and added to the LA Climate Week Calendar.

Our team will be matching businesses that have offered their venues (restaurants, corporate spaces, community centers, shops, gardens) with event hosts looking for venues. We will also match interested speakers and support with event marketing.

Please use this as a reference to properly submit your event to the calendar where all registered attendees, participants, and sponsors can preview and sign up for approved events.

Event guidelines

IDENTIFY YOUR OBJECTIVES

To make your event as impactful as possible, determine what you want to accomplish with this event. Create a clear set of goals that may include:

IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET AUDIENCES & INDUSTRY

What kind of events can you create?

BUT KEEP IN MIND...

Inclusivity: Events should be inclusive and accessible to diverse audiences.

Community Engagement: Events should encourage active participation and dialogue among attendees.

Education: Events should introduce ideas, technologies, or methods for addressing climate issues.

Partnerships: Events that involve collaborations with other organizations or community groups are highly encouraged.

EVENT BUDGET / VENUES

Determine how much you can spend on the event. Take a look at potential costs for a venue, printing, design, marketing, food, drinks, decorations, technical equipment, and more, to determine your event budget. Whilst we encourage your event to be free, you may set a ticket price. Ask businesses in your area if they are willing to give in-kind donations such as food, drinks, or a venue to host the event.

We know that finding a venue or speakers may be difficult. Our team may be able to introduce you to cooperating venues for free from LA Climate Week Partners and other venues with non-profit pricing and other creative spaces like restaurants.
