About this event
Climate Week in New York moves fast, and the best conversations often happen before the big narratives harden. SpeedStrapping Climate Tech: Third Sphere's Opening Session & Presentation at NYCW is built for that moment: a focused, in-person gathering where climate, tech, and community intersect around early momentum, practical insight, and real connection. If you care about how climate innovation gets shaped in the room, not just discussed from the stage, this session belongs on your calendar. About the Event This opening session is part of the NYC Climate Week energy, designed to bring people together around climate tech with a format that feels active rather than passive. The title signals a mix of fast-moving exchange and presentation: a chance to hear how Third Sphere is framing the conversation while also creating space for attendees to connect around ideas, opportunities, and next steps. Rather than positioning climate tech as an abstract category, this event is grounded in the people building, backing, exploring, and supporting it. Expect a room that reflects the practical side of climate innovation: people thinking about products, deployment, partnerships, ecosystems, and how to move from interest to traction. As an opening session, this event also sets a tone. It is the kind of gathering that can help you orient yourself at the start of a busy week, giving you a sharper sense of where conversations are headed and who you should be talking to next. What to Expect At its core, this is an in-person session and presentation with a strong community and networking dimension. You can expect a structured program anchored by Third Sphere's opening presentation, with surrounding moments for meeting other attendees and exchanging perspectives on the state of climate tech. The format is well suited to people who want both substance and access. Instead of choosing between "content" and "networking," attendees can expect a setting where one feeds the other: a presentation that gives people something concrete to react to, followed by interactions that make those ideas useful. Likely points of focus for the experience include: An opening presentation that frames the session and provides a point of view on climate tech within the NYC Climate Week context A community-driven atmosphere where conversations can continue beyond the formal presentation Networking opportunities with people working across climate, technology, startups, and adjacent sectors A strong opening-of-week function for attendees looking to map their priorities and connections early Because the event is in person, expect the value to come not only from what is said publicly, but also from the side conversations before, during, and after the main session. If you tend to get the most out of events when you can ask follow-up questions, compare notes, and meet people face to face, this format works in your favor. Why Attend There are plenty of Climate Week events that offer broad inspiration. This one stands out if you are looking for a more applied, ecosystem-level read on climate tech and the people around it. The combination of an opening session, presentation, and networking makes it useful whether you are trying to learn, meet collaborators, or better understand where the conversation is moving. Attending can help you do a few things at once. You can hear a specific perspective from Third Sphere, get a feel for the room of people showing up around climate tech, and identify where your own work or interests fit into the larger picture. That is especially valuable during a dense week when context and connection matter as much as any single talk. You should consider coming if you want to: Start Climate Week with signal, not noise Meet people who are actively engaged in climate tech, not just casually interested in it Gather useful context for the rest of your week in New York Turn ideas into conversations, and conversations into follow-ups Spend time in a room where climate and tech are being discussed together in a practical way For founders, operators, investors, researchers, and ecosystem builders, the event offers a chance to sharpen your read on the field while also expanding your network in a setting that is more focused than a large expo and more socially dynamic than a standard panel. Practical Details When: Tuesday, September 23 at 1:00 PM EDT Where: In person at Kings County, USA This is an in-person event, which means planning for travel time, arrival, and face-to-face networking is worth it. A 1:00 PM start makes this a strong midday anchor for your Climate Week schedule, whether you are building your day around it or using it as a bridge between morning and evening programming. Because this session is tied to NYC Climate Week, the surrounding days are likely to be busy across the city and region. Arriving with a clear sense of what you want from the room, whether that is meeting collaborators, hearing Third Sphere's perspective, or simply getting oriented, will help you make the most of the event. A few practical tips for attendees: Come ready to introduce yourself clearly and describe your climate tech interest or work in a sentence or two Leave space after the session for follow-up conversations if your schedule allows Bring your questions and your context, since the most useful exchanges often happen around the formal presentation Use this as a starting point for the rest of your week, especially if you want stronger direction on where to spend your time next If you are looking for a smart, in-person entry point into climate tech conversations during NYC Climate Week, this session offers exactly that: a focused presentation, a relevant crowd, and a practical opportunity to connect while the week is still taking shape.
