Coast Summit—presented by A New Earth Project— is an inspiring gathering of visionaries and changemakers who are redefining what’s possible for people and the planet.
Join us on November 6th, 2025, for the third annual Coast Summit, as we celebrate the visionary leaders who are pioneering solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
