Day 4: The Marketplace of the Future
Greetings!! After 8 consecutive years running during Climate Week NYC, Marketplace of the Future is preparing for its first step out of New York.
What better moment than the first ever Climate Week in our nation's capital?
The Marketplace of the Future is a new take on the 1939 New York World’s Fair, which was dubbed “The World of Tomorrow” and featured new inventions such as the fluorescent light bulb, air-conditioning, and television.
We're here to show climate solutions in the same light - novel now, normal soon.
The 2024 MOTF Activities Include:
Climate Solution Exhibitors
Panel Discussions
Live Jazz
Workshops
Yummy drinks
Plant based food
Highlights:
Exhibition Hall: Dozens of exhibitors showcasing a spectrum of climate solutions from vegan ice cream, to circular fashion, to satellites beaming solar energy from space!
Panel Discussions: Past speakers include inspiring leaders like Seth Godin, orgs like Project Drawdown, and youth leaders like Queer Brown Vegan. Check back soon for the DC line-up!
Networking Opportunities: Engage a room of hundreds of peers, start-up professionals, designers, educators, students, and potential collaborators during our day-long event.
Live Music: The climate vibe will be elevated by smooth jazz being played all-day.
Food and Drinks: The Marketplace of the Future strives to keep the vibes and camaraderie high. Enjoy a selection of conscious alcoholic and n/a beverages.
Zero-Waste Stations: Marketplace of the Future is ensuring all of our waste is either reused, donated, recycled, or composted, sending little to nothing to landfill. Expect to find “circularity guides” at each waste station to help you sort and return your items properly.
