The 3rd annual
Rising Together: Bay Adapt Summit will take place on November 9, 2026, at the Exploratorium—and it will be our biggest yet.
This year’s summit will be a dynamic and immersive event featuring inspiring panels, keynote speakers, tours, activities, and workshops designed to forge partnerships and drive action. Co-hosted by BCDC and the Exploratorium, with support from Greenbelt Alliance, the summit will bring together climate practitioners, scientists, activists, and community leaders to highlight and celebrate sea level rise adaptation efforts across the Bay Area.
Want to help shape the program? We’d love your ideas. Submit suggestions for topics you’d like to see covered, tours you’d like to co-host, or speakers you’d like to hear from. This summit is designed for the Bay Area adaptation community—so tell us what you’d like to see. Please contribute by June 19, 2026.
