Event Description 

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will host its 2026 Environmental Innovation Summit on Wednesday, June 17 at its headquarters in Washington, DC. This event convenes corporate sustainability leaders, government officials, nonprofits, academics, and innovators to highlight the leadership of businesses in deploying innovative, resource-efficient technologies and practices that bolster economic growth, share best-in-class strategies, and identify effective policies.

Speakers and participants will focus on where the private sector is driving environmental innovation both domestically and globally, including in energy, the circular economy, agriculture, biodiversity, resilience, and more.

The Chamber will convene small, private roundtable discussions in the months prior to engage in dialogue and collaboration with members, and develop practical policy priorities to inform the summit’s agenda and outcomes.

Please reach out to Trevor Merrifield at (tmerrifield@uschamber.com) with any questions.

Thank you to our sponsors Veolia and Solstice for supporting this year's summit.
