Summit Update: New Dates Announced

Due to overwhelming demand in our community-building initiatives and the need to enhance our operational structure for sustainability, we've made the very difficult decision to reschedule our summit to March 5-7, 2025. This change will allow us to maximize the impact of the event and better align it with our growing commitments.

We waited to make this announcement until we reconfirmed with our speakers, and we are happy to share that almost all have committed to the new dates, with one exception pending reconfirmation soon. The updates are already live on our website, and we will also update the lu.ma registration page shortly.

This new date will allow us to do things properly and focus now on building our inner tribes, which will play a crucial role in the solid structure of TLL.

New Partnership on the Rise

Alejandro Sturniolo is part of the Water Positive network and the way they embraced our events and mission will probably bring them inside our research ecosystem. The connections and messages continue to pour in.

We are setting up a follow-up meeting to consolidate our upcoming partnership and steps. An amazing group of people, active and competent.

The Water Positive Think Tank (WPTT) unites over 60 global experts to define strategic goals and solutions that address and resolve local, regional, and international water sustainability challenges.

“We aim to collaborate with industrial decision-makers and policymakers from all relevant spheres to provide transformative Water-Positive initiatives and solutions for water sustainability that are economically viable, health-promoting, and environmentally responsible.”
