Emerging Leaders

As the premier conference for sustainable business leaders seeking hands-on, tangible solutions, GreenBiz 25 (February 10-12, Phoenix, AZ) will convene leaders from across the sustainability community – including chief officers, heads of legal, supply chain, human resources, investor relations and others – to share insights and address key challenges in decarbonization, biodiversity, supply chains, strategic communications and much more. By attending, you’ll gain access to inspiring keynotes, engaging breakout sessions and valuable networking that will empower you with the knowledge and connections you need to enact change towards a just and decarbonized economy.

Emerging Leaders

The Emerging Leaders Program aims to elevate, cultivate and support the next generation of Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) leaders in the climate community. Our goal is to foster a community of sustainability professionals that is diverse and representative of the world in which we live. We do so by fostering pathways into the sustainability space for students and early-career professionals who face barriers to entry in the field.

Selected GreenBiz 25 Emerging Leaders will receive a complimentary all-access scholarship to participate in the conference – which comes with special recognition and networking opportunities at the event exclusive to Emerging Leaders. Selected applicants will also gain access to ongoing professional development, networking, mentorship, and support through the Emerging Leaders Network – joining a growing cohort of 300+ diverse peers making an impact across the sustainability industry. The scholarship covers registration fees, airfare, lodging, and meals at the event.

To apply, applicants must:

  1. Currently reside in the United States, Canada, or Mexico
  2. Possess a cultural identity consistent with BIPOC – Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
  3. Be enrolled at an accredited college or university as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student OR be an early-career professional with less than 10 years of professional experience
