Since 2020, The Climate Toolkit has served as a network to gather cultural institutions to share, mentor, and learn how to address climate change within their institutions and inspire the communities they serve.

This fall, the Toolkit is pleased to announce its inaugural in-person symposium, to be held at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. At this multi-day event, which kicks off the evening of Sunday, October 26 with an opening night soiree and runs through Tuesday afternoon, we seek to convene partner institutions from around the world, strengthen relationships, spark conversations and collaborations, and bond the network of the Climate Toolkit community towards achieving greater efforts in climate-aligned operations and impactful public engagement.

Your $150 admission ticket includes full symposium admission and all food and beverages (buffet dinner on both evenings and breakfast, lunch and coffee service on both symposium days). The Climate Toolkit Symposium is immediately followed by the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums Annual Conference, also in Pittsburgh – we encourage interested attendees to extend their stay and join both events.
