Beyond Circularity: Talking in Circles
**We have reached our max capacity but walk-ins are welcome in case registered guests do not show up. Thank you! **
Join us during LA Climate Week for an engaging conversation with experts leading sustainability initiatives in the field of circularity in fashion and communities that can inspire and help organizations transition from ambition to action.
Our special Panelists:
Laura Grier (moderator) – Social Entrepreneur https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-grier-travel

Karri Ann Frerichs – Founder of Circular Fashion LA https://www.circularfashionla.com

Let’s together take a deep dive and explore how the principles of the Circular Economy practices can be applied to the fashion industry in creating solutions we believe can bring real sustainability to people and planet.
Attendees will have the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, find inspiration, and build connections with fellow change-makers while enjoying some sonic moments to the tunes of DJ Open Decks, a multidimensional human who spends part of his time teaching and researching Climate Science at USC.
