About this event
Climate and energy work moves fast, and it can be hard to find space for real conversation outside of packed schedules and formal industry events. This meetup is a chance for women working in, building toward, or simply staying close to climate and energy to step into a room together, make useful connections, and talk honestly about what is happening in the field right now. Whether you are deep in the sector or finding your way into it, this gathering is designed to feel approachable, relevant, and worth your time. You can expect thoughtful conversation, strong peer energy, and the kind of networking that feels more human than transactional. About the Event The Women in Climate/Energy Meetup - NOV/DEC 2025 is an in-person community gathering for women connected to climate and energy. At its core, this event is about building relationships across a broad ecosystem of people who care about the future of energy systems, climate solutions, and the work required to move both forward. Rather than centering on a formal conference structure, this meetup is built around connection and conversation. It creates room for attendees to meet peers, swap perspectives, share current work, and talk through the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector at the end of 2025. This kind of space matters because many people in climate and energy are navigating overlapping worlds: policy, technology, startups, utilities, community organizing, investing, research, operations, and advocacy. A meetup format makes it easier to connect across those lines, discover shared interests, and leave with new relationships that can actually continue after the event. If you have been looking for a more grounded way to expand your network, reconnect with people in the field, or meet others who understand the pace and complexity of this work, that is exactly what this event is for. What to Expect Expect a welcoming, conversation-driven format that gives you time to meet people without feeling rushed. This is not about sitting through a long program. It is about creating enough structure to spark good conversations while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and easy to navigate. You can likely expect the meetup to include: Informal arrivals and open networking so people can settle in and start connecting naturally Introductions and light framing to set the tone and make the room feel accessible, especially for first-time attendees Small-group and one-on-one conversations around current work, shared interests, and questions in climate and energy Organic follow-up conversations with people you want to keep talking to after the event wraps Because the event brings together people from across climate and energy, discussions may range widely. One conversation might focus on career transitions into the sector, while another might center on market shifts, project development, climate strategy, policy movement, or the day-to-day reality of building and sustaining work in this space. You do not need to arrive with a polished pitch or a specific agenda. It is enough to come ready to introduce yourself, ask thoughtful questions, and engage with curiosity. Some attendees will come to strengthen existing ties in the community; others will come specifically to meet new collaborators, peers, or mentors. Why Attend A strong professional community can make a real difference in climate and energy, where the work is often ambitious, cross-functional, and constantly changing. This meetup offers a setting where you can build that community in a more direct and personal way. Attending can help you: Meet women across climate and energy in a setting that supports real conversation Expand your network with intention, not just collect names Gain perspective on what others are seeing across different parts of the sector Share your own work and interests with people who are likely to understand the context quickly Find points of alignment for future collaboration, introductions, or ongoing support There is also value in simply being in the room. If your day-to-day work can feel siloed, highly technical, or stretched across too many priorities, spending time with others who care about similar issues can help you feel more connected to the bigger picture and to the people moving it forward. For those earlier in their climate or energy path, the meetup can offer clarity and momentum. For those with more experience, it can be a chance to reconnect with the community, share perspective, and spot emerging interests or talent. In both cases, the benefit is practical: you leave with stronger relationships and a better sense of who is working on what. Practical Details This event will take place in person on Wednesday, December 10 at 11:30 AM PST. Being in the room matters for this format; the value comes from conversation, presence, and the ease of making introductions face to face. Because it is scheduled for late morning, it fits well for attendees who want to build a meaningful connection point into the middle of the week. It is a good option if you want something more substantial than casual online networking but less formal than a full-day event. A few helpful ways to prepare: Come ready to briefly introduce yourself and your connection to climate or energy Think about the kinds of people you would like to meet or reconnect with Bring questions, current interests, or challenges you are open to discussing Plan for conversation, not performance; this is a meetup, not a pitch competition If you have been meaning to make more room for community in your climate or energy work, this is a clear place to start. Show up, be present, and give yourself the chance to meet the people you will be glad to know.
