If the future is being quietly assembled in rooms where ideas meet capital and courage, this is one of those rooms. Join us!

What if we could hijack the very systems driving climate and nature destruction to fuel regeneration instead?

Climate Heist is a night out with substance.

Professional but unbuttoned.

Curious but commercially sharp.

If the future is being quietly assembled in rooms where ideas meet capital and courage, this is one of those rooms. Join us 🍸🌍

Partnering with Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), this intimate evening brings together entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to explore how business, finance, policy and technology can be re-engineered for impact and advantage. From impact investing, industrial symbiosis, renewable energy and regenerative supply chains to AI and IoT, we’ll unpack real strategies already reshaping industries - not in theory, but in practice.

Expect a candid panel discussion, a keynote from a world-class climate and nature business leader, and space for meaningful conversation in a relaxed, design-led setting. With music, art and light bites, The Climate Heist is designed to feel more like a curated gathering than a conference. It showcases how to use capitalism’s own playbook - but for good

• From compliance headache to competitive edge. The transition is not a tax. It is a tactical advantage for those awake enough to spot it.
• Regeneration that pays its own bar tab. Real companies. Real margins. Impact baked in, not sprinkled on.
• AI meets ROI meets the biosphere. How data, tech and clever tools are turning impact from reporting theatre into strategic muscle.
• Capital is moving. Are you? What future-fit businesses must prove to attract serious money in a warming world.
• No lanyards. No lurkers. Just sharp minds, good drinks and conversations that actually go somewhere.
