"The 2017 Companies versus Climate Change conference was the best sustainability conference I have ever attended. Great content from Sustainability leaders sharing best practices and exceptional speakers that really helped me think differently about what I do as a sustainability professional. Fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and learn from experts. Can't wait until next year."

Sue Valascho, Global Corporate Social Responsibility and Compliance Analyst, Autolov

Companies Vs. Climate Change was nice a balance of content and connecting. The companies attending are well curated and the programming and intimate setting elicit candid insights and provide good opportunities to continue the conversations started in sessions. The event kept providing ample networking opportunities. I think CvCC has a good balance, with a nice amount of time to chat in-between sessions.

This is the best sustainability conference I have attended. A great deal of useful information was provided as well as the opportunity to network with others in the same line of work. Can't wait until next year.

CvCC provides an excellent learning opportunity for sustainability executives from all backgrounds - think tanks, NGOs, corporates, etc. This year's conversations about how companies are getting more involved in climate policy was very inspiring.

Leisha John - Director of Environmental Sustainability - EY

I found the conference provided some incredible insight and details into the movement within business to take on Climate Change. At a time when U.S. government leadership is struggling in this area, it was reaffirming and encouraging to see how insightful businesses are taking sustainability seriously and forging into new territory.

Of the many sustainability/corporate responsibility conferences I've been to, I enjoy the not-too- large-not-too-small size of CvCC. Talented and smart attendees who all want to make an impact in our future. Well organized and informational, as well.

My favorite part of the conference? Difficult to pick just one! Loved hearing what larger and small companies are doing to combat CC, loved the conversations held among like-minded individuals, networking, learning.

Dan Kriger Corporate Responsibility - Sykes Enterprises

What I liked about this conference is that the audience size is more moderate and manageable, so participants really get the chance to ask questions and have some back and forth with the presenters/panelists. As a representative of local government, it was fascinating and very valuable for me to hear what types of sustainability issues my private sector counterparts are dealing with. I also liked some of the presentations so much that I will recommend the speakers for a conference that we are putting on next year. The food was also excellent, with lots of vegetarian options, which was a pleasant surprise.

Jacqueline Drumheller - Sustainability Manager - Alaska Airlines

The Companies vs. Climate change conference brings together key, passionate environmental leaders from around the world to tackle perhaps one of the greatest challenges mankind has ever faced. It was an excellent experience to learn from, network and come together with brilliant minds to discuss concrete strategies and execution plans to combat climate change. We at Emerald Brand are proud to be a part of the CVC community.

As a representative of local government, it was fascinating and valuable for me to hear about the sustainability challenges my private sector counterparts experience and how they identify opportunities, communicate, and strategize with their C-Suite to achieve greater sustainability within their respective companies. Thank you again!

“The quality of the speakers and presentations mimicked what you'd expect at a conference with thousands of attendees, but the intimate size of the audience at CvCC17 allowed for even better discussions between those on stage and those who came to learn. I can't wait for CvCC18!”

Marissa Rosen - Owner Climate Social

The CvCC conference presents a unique and privileged opportunity to engage with industry sustainability leaders in an intimate and dynamic professional setting. The conversation consistently focused on what companies and organizations are currently (and collectively) doing to combat climate change, and always with an emphasis on finding solutions rather than fixating on the challenges. The conference hosted lively speakers, attentive attendees, forward-thinking conversations, and delicious food. I look forward to continuing the conversation in 2018.

Brittany Szczepanik - Senior Project Manager, Sustainability at NSF International

Companies vs. Climate Change is a unique event with its emphasis on the impact of Climate Change on business. The event has established a focused community which brings depth to the conversation in a pointed way not normally found at similar events. Personally, I am very much looking forward to next year's event to expand on the conversation, build on existing relationships and create new ones. I highly recommend attendance to any organization wishing to dive deep into the impact of Climate Change on their business.

Michael Malara - Key Account Manager at South Pole

What really sets CvCC apart from some of the other conferences in the space is the intimacy of the event. I really appreciate that attendees aren’t rushed between dozens of breakouts, but are all part of the same insightful discussions led by respected business leaders throughout the week.

Jeff Ashelford - Corporate Partnerships Manager at Arbor Day Foundation

Companies Vs Climate Change is a great conference to help businesses benchmark and learn what the top companies are doing in the fight against climate change. It inspires and allows you to make the connections to implement these best practices in your business no matter how big or small your business may be.

Erin McClary - Owner at Van Brew Media

CvCC was a first class event that allowed for engagement, networking and most of all, sharing of information so we may collectively work to make the world a better place!
