About this event

If you care about climate and want to meet other people who are actively thinking, building, organizing, or simply showing up around it, this is a good room to be in. Climate Hang with Kip and Breene is a low-pressure, in-person gathering designed to make it easier to have real conversations, expand your network, and spend time with people who share a serious interest in climate. What Is This? This event is a community-centered climate meetup with a social, conversational format. Rather than a formal conference or a highly programmed workshop, the focus here is on bringing people together in person for meaningful connection around a shared topic: climate. You can expect a setting that makes it easy to talk with others across different levels of experience and involvement. Whether you work in climate full time, are adjacent to the space, or are just looking for a more grounded way to meet people who care about these issues, the format is built to support informal but substantive exchange. Because it is an in-person hang, the value comes from the room itself: the people you meet, the questions you ask, the ideas you hear, and the follow-up conversations that can continue after the event. It is social, but it is not aimless. It is welcoming, but it is also oriented toward people who want thoughtful conversation. What to Expect Expect a relaxed networking meetup with plenty of room for natural conversation. This is the kind of event where you can arrive, get oriented quickly, and start talking to people without needing to decode a complicated agenda. A likely flow for the gathering includes: Arrival and casual mingling so people can settle in and get a sense of who is there Open conversation around climate, community, work, projects, and ideas Light networking that feels human rather than transactional Organic introductions to people with shared interests, complementary backgrounds, or useful perspectives This kind of format works especially well for attendees who prefer depth over speed. Instead of racing through a packed schedule, you will have time to ask better questions, compare notes, and talk through what is happening in climate from multiple angles. You should also expect a mix of people and motivations. Some attendees may be deep in climate work already. Others may be exploring where they fit. That variety is part of what makes a good meetup useful: it creates more interesting conversations than a room where everyone has the exact same role, background, or goal. Why Attend Climate can be a difficult topic to engage with in isolation. A strong local or professional community makes it easier to stay informed, stay motivated, and keep perspective. This event creates space for that kind of connection in a way that is simple, direct, and easy to say yes to. You might come away with: New relationships with people working on or thinking seriously about climate Better visibility into what others in the community are focused on Fresh ideas sparked by informal conversation rather than formal presentations A stronger sense of belonging in a climate-minded network Potential collaborators, friends, or future connectors you would not have met otherwise There is also real value in attending events that are not over-structured. Some of the best opportunities happen when people have enough time to talk honestly about what they are building, what they are struggling with, and where they want to contribute next. If you are looking for signal, not noise, this format supports that. Just as importantly, showing up in person changes the quality of interaction. You get more nuance, more spontaneity, and more trust than you typically do online. For a topic as complex and cross-cutting as climate, that matters. Practical Details Climate Hang with Kip and Breene will take place in person on Tuesday, May 27 at 4:30 PM PDT. If you are deciding whether to make time for it, think of this as an approachable late-afternoon gathering that can fit naturally into your week. A few useful notes before you attend: Format: in-person meetup / social networking gathering Focus: climate, community, conversation, and connection Timing: Tuesday, May 27 at 4:30 PM PDT Best approach: come ready to introduce yourself, share what brings you to climate, and meet a range of people You do not need to prepare a formal pitch or arrive with a perfect explanation of your role.
