Call for Speakers: Maryland Climate Tech+ 2026
Share Your Real-World Solutions
Share your solutions shaping healthy, resilient communities.
Maryland Climate Tech+ 2026 invites practitioners, innovators, researchers, and public-sector leaders to present real-world climate, housing, and public health solutions that are already being tested, deployed, or scaled.
This is not a pitch stage.
It is a working convening focused on implementation, outcomes, and replication.
2026 Climate Justice Theme: Housing as Healthcare
Maryland Climate Tech+ 2026 centers on the role of housing as a frontline public health intervention—particularly in communities facing disproportionate exposure to radon gas, asthma triggers, wildfires, flooding, and sea-level rise.
We are seeking presentations that examine how climate-resilient, healthy homes can prevent health crises before they reach hospitals, while advancing equity, affordability, and workforce development.
Who Should Apply
You should apply if you are actively involved in:
- Designing, piloting, or implementing climate, housing, or public-health solutions
- Evaluating real-world outcomes, performance data, or cost impacts
- Deploying solutions across residential, commercial, or community-scale projects
- Working alongside public agencies, utilities, healthcare systems, or communities
Joint submissions with an end-user client, public agency, or community partner are strongly encouraged.
