The Summit explores:

 “What will you do to join us on the
Road to 2028?”

Exactly two years to the day ahead of the 2028 Opening Ceremony, LACI’s next Road to 2028 Summit on July 14-15, 2026 will be at Intuit Dome, home of 2028 Olympic basketball. Please join us as we convene policymakers, industry leaders, startup entrepreneurs, investors, Team USA athletes, and advocates from the entertainment industry for thought-provoking conversations that catalyze investment, innovation, and action.


Together, our goal is to build momentum for lasting climate impact and action, making clean air a shared 2028 legacy. We can accomplish this through accelerating implementation of climate solutions and inspiring new commitments to action, while demonstrating the leadership and ingenuity of LA and California’s climate policy and innovation to people all around the globe.


More than 400 people attended our inaugural two-day Summit in December. Team USA athletes talked about wanting visitors to experience great transit and vegan food. Well-known policymakers, advocates, actors, and activists touted solutions that can create tangible benefits for all Angelenos, including electric buses, capturing pollution from dirty cargo ships, and making our streets more accessible for bicyclists and pedestrians.


The Summit inspired $125M in commitments to action to advance clean energy and clean transportation innovations and infrastructure ahead of 2028. Now we want to inspire the next round of commitments. What ideas do you have for ensuring cleaner air and building stronger communities for decades to come?


Please join us, and buy your tickets today! Regular pricing ends July 3.
