Each year, the Trailblazer Awards celebrate leaders who are working to build a net zero future. Awardees include changemakers who are making an impact in the areas of climate, carbon, equity, ESG, resilience, net zero, and more.
This year’s Gala will take place at Millwick, a renovated building with a design that allows for daylighting and reduced energy consumption.
Join us for hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and stunning greenery. Elevated cocktail attire is requested.
Address: 800 E 4th Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90013
Add the Trailblazer Awards Gala to your ticket with an All Access Pass or as an add-on in registration.
