Momentum is Balance: Our collective, consistent efforts keep us moving forward
| Speaker | Talk Title | Descriptor |
| Mohan Sivaloganathan, Founder, Harmonious Leadership | This Movement Will Not be Televised | Do we really understand what makes a movement? Here’s the roadmap to claim and own our roles in fostering transformative change. |
| Katie Ryan, VP Sustainability and Executive Director Trellis Impact 25 | Momentum is Balance | My daughter’s bike coach said it best: momentum is balance. That principle translates to how we navigate business, sustainability, and generational change. What if the steadiness we need now comes down to one simple truth: keep pedaling. |
| Ohlone Sisters | Indigenous Wisdom | What if the key to sustainable momentum isn’t acceleration, but remembering where we started? Indigenous wisdom teaches that true balance comes from honoring the land and moving with its rhythms—not against them—as we acknowledge the Ohlone people, the original stewards of what is now San Jose. |
| Elaine Hsieh, Partner and COO, VoLo Earth Ventures | What Comes After Hope: Building the Inevitable Energy Transition | What if inevitability is the new optimism? In this era of the energy transition, technology and markets are scaling solutions faster than policy can follow — revealing how conviction, innovation, and capital are already building the future we’ve been waiting for. |
| John Magana, @Tailchip | Hinging on My Relationship with Failure | What if the key to finding balance and momentum in life isn’t avoiding failure, but learning how to fall forward? How skateboarding changed my perspective on failure. |
| Margaret Morales, Director, Carbon Capital Lab with Nan Ransohoff, Head of Climate, Stripe

Carbon Removal Is Behind—But It’s Still the Key to Winning the Climate Fight | What role can permanent carbon removal play in climate strategy for companies with big targets and ever shrinking budgets? Hear more about a joint corporate commitment to purchase over $1B in tech-enabled carbon removal by 2030 and about how small-dollar commitments have an oversize impact for the climate. |
| Gavin McCormick, Executive Director, WattTime
Co-founder, Climate TRACE |
Data-Driven Hope: Climate Solutions that Actually Worked | Can we be optimistic about global progress to address climate change? Let’s dig into the data and see how countries and companies are already achieving meaningful decarbonization — and how you can do the same. |
