About this event
If you work in climate or energy and want stronger connections with other women navigating the same space, this meetup is built for you. It is a chance to step away from the usual pace of work, meet peers in person, and have the kinds of conversations that are often hard to fit into a packed calendar. This October gathering brings together women across climate and energy for a thoughtful, welcoming morning of community and networking. Whether you are deep in the industry, adjacent to it, or finding your way into the field, you can expect a room full of people who care about practical ideas, real relationships, and the future of this work. About the Event Women in Climate/Energy Meetup - OCTOBER 2025 is an in-person community gathering designed to help women connect across the broader climate and energy ecosystem. The focus is not on formal presentations or polished panels. It is on making space for genuine conversation, professional connection, and shared perspective among people working on complex, urgent problems. Climate and energy are wide-ranging fields, and that breadth is part of what makes this meetup useful. You may meet people working in clean energy, policy, finance, startups, nonprofits, research, operations, communications, or community-building. That mix creates better conversations and often leads to unexpected connections. This is a meetup first and foremost, which means the format is social, accessible, and relationship-driven. You do not need a perfect pitch or a highly specific goal to attend. Coming ready to introduce yourself, listen well, and talk honestly about what you are seeing in the field is more than enough. Because the event is in person, the emphasis is on the kind of connection that is easier to build face to face: quick introductions that turn into longer conversations, advice exchanged naturally, and new contacts that feel more memorable than another online interaction. What to Expect Expect a friendly morning format centered on networking and conversation. The pace should feel easy enough for meaningful discussion, while still creating plenty of opportunities to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces. You can likely expect a mix of: Informal arrivals and introductions Open networking with women across climate and energy Small-group conversations that branch into shared interests, current work, and career paths Time to swap contact information and follow up after the event This kind of meetup tends to work best when attendees bring both curiosity and specificity. Be ready to talk about what you are working on, what questions you are wrestling with, and what kinds of people or perspectives you hope to meet. The most valuable conversations are often the ones that start simply and get more concrete from there. You should also expect a range of experience levels in the room. Some attendees may be well established in the sector, while others may be earlier in their careers or exploring a transition into climate or energy. That range is a strength: it creates room for mentorship, peer learning, and conversations that are both practical and honest. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is simple: strong networks matter in climate and energy. These are fields where collaboration, introductions, and trusted relationships can shape projects, hiring, partnerships, and momentum over time. A meetup like this helps build those relationships in a more human way. You may come away with new peers, potential collaborators, useful career insight, or a clearer sense of where your work fits within the broader landscape. Even one or two strong conversations can change how connected you feel to the field and where you want to go next. This event also creates space for something many professionals need more of: being in a room with other women who understand the realities of working in climate and energy. That shared context can make it easier to discuss ambition, uncertainty, leadership, workplace dynamics, and the day-to-day challenges of building a career in mission-driven sectors. If you have been meaning to expand your network, reconnect with community, or simply spend time with thoughtful people doing adjacent work, this is a smart, low-friction way to do it. You do not need to have everything figured out to belong in the room. Practical Details This meetup takes place in person on Wednesday, October 29 at 10:30 AM PDT. The in-person format is intentional: it gives attendees the best chance to build rapport, have richer conversations, and leave with connections that feel real and usable. Because this is a community and networking event, it helps to arrive prepared for conversation. A short introduction about who you are, what you are working on, and what kinds of people you would like to meet can go a long way. If there is someone you connect with, plan to exchange details so the conversation can continue afterward. A few ways to get the most out of the morning: Arrive on time so you can settle in and meet people early Be open to talking with people outside your immediate niche Bring questions, not just an elevator pitch Follow up soon after the event with the people you want to stay in touch with If you are looking for a welcoming, focused space to meet women across climate and energy, this October meetup is a strong place to start. It is professional without being stiff, social without being vague, and designed for people who want community that is actually useful.
