THANK YOU ALL!

What a momentous week!

Over the course of three days, we spoke with rangers on the thin green line, explored the history and contributed to the beauty of Balboa Park in tandem with The Nat's 150th anniversary and set our sights on the path forward for the growing global community that is 1% for the Planet. While we work diligently to create this container known as Global Summit, you create the experience.

With humble thanks and immense gratitude,
‍The 1% for the Planet Team

Where we’ll gather

Our 6th annual Global Summit is taking place within San Diego’s ever-changing, always amazing, 1,200-acre backyard - Balboa Park. Main events will be hosted at San Diego Natural History Museum, tracing its roots to an enthusiastic group of amateur naturalists who came together in 1874 to study the unique flora and fauna of San Diego. San Diego Natural History Museum (and affectionately referred to as The Nat) focuses on the natural history and unique biodiversity of this binational region.

We welcome you to Balboa Park for this year’s Global Summit gathering in tandem with celebrating The Nat’s 150 years of scientific research throughout Southern California and the Baja California Peninsula.

Where to stay

A longstanding symbol of San Diego’s history located in the city’s North Park neighborhood and just minutes from San Diego International Airport, the LaFayette Hotel was built in 1946 by young entrepreneur Larry Imig as a haven for young Hollywood, hosting Ava Gardner, Lana Turner, Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. The new LaFayette Hotel brings guests on a creative exploration that features an ode to the original “city within a city” hotel concept, moving beyond a one-dimensional space that exudes a well-curated, aspirational style.

We recommend arriving in San Diego early on Oct. 15th and checking out on Oct. 18th for the full Global Summit experience.

🙃 Demand was high! Our block of rooms is sold out and the LaFayette is booked!

🏡 There are still excellent places to stay very near to Balboa Park! We recommend exploring the fun, eclectic selection of local short term rentals that the neighborhoods surrounding Balboa Park have to offer.

FAQs

Is Global Summit 2024: San Diego open to everyone?

Registration is open and available to certified 1% for the Planet Business Members. We consider our Global Summit events a member benefit; any other participation is by invitation only.

Does my ticket cost count toward my 1% for the Planet annual commitment?

Yes! Your ticket cost will automatically count toward your 1% commitment for the current fiscal year unless otherwise discussed with your account lead. If you prefer to have your ticket cost certified differently, please reach out to your account lead for approval.

What is included with registration?

Registration includes access to the entire event schedule, including sessions and offsite activities. Any tools or materials required for session participation will be provided onsite. Lodging is not included but may be booked directly with our preferred lodging option on the event website.

What will the content and schedule for Global Summit 2024 look like?

Our team is hard at work planning content, securing speakers, and finalizing the event schedule on today’s important environmental issues and solutions, as well as how to grow our movement.

How will you be ensuring accessibility to all attendees?

We value inclusion and access for all participants, including accommodations related to visual, auditory, speech, mobility, psychological or cognitive disability. Any members requiring accommodations will be able to request these at the time of registration.

Are there scholarships or grants available for subsidized attendance?

Yes! The Global Summit scholarship program aims to provide localized support to certified 1% for the Planet Business Members with historical and institutional barriers, and support equity in attendance by subsidizing costs of ticket prices for eligible applicants. You can access the scholarship application here. The application closes on June 30, 2024.

Will you feed us?

Yes, this is included in the ticket price for the in-person event. Meals provided will be outlined in the event program. Between our awesome members and venue, you will be well fed. Any dietary restrictions or food allergies will be recorded during the registration process.

Will you be offering any family accessibility accommodations for childcare or new parents?

Thanks to the thoughtful feedback of our network, we are introducing new parent accessibility options for the first time. In partnership with Mamava, we will be providing a pop-up Mamava Lactation Pod as a dignified space to pump, nurse or parent at our main event venue, San Diego Natural History Museum, on Oct 16th and Oct 17th. We will not be providing dedicated childcare at this time, but continue to review those solutions for our attending parents in the future.

Is there a dress code at the event? What should I wear?

Global Summit is a casual environment encouraging you to come as you are. We've had friends show up in trout costumes, pantsuits, sweats and drag. Whether that means joggers and Chacos is the best fit, is up to you. Global Summit holds room for attendees to show up as themselves!

Is proof of vaccination required to attend?

Global Summit 2024 will continue to plan in accordance with local and state guidelines. By registering for in-person attendance at Global Summit 2024, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public space where people are present.

What is the refund policy?

Tickets are refundable upon request until up to 1 month (30 days) prior to the event (SEPTEMBER 15, 2024), less a transaction fee. Eventbrite fees are nonrefundable. Tickets are non-transferable.

Will there be a virtual attendance option?

Our current focus is to ensure an inspiring, safe in-person event. We know that when this group gets together, we generate incredible energy and action that can change the world. A limited selection of content may be made available to our network post-event.

Can I sponsor the event?

Interested in supporting Global Summit 2024 at a higher level? We have select sponsorship packages available for 1% for the Planet Business Members. Please email events@onepercentfortheplanet.org for sponsorship information.

What is your position on carbon offsets and how can I offset my carbon footprint from attending this event?

1% for the Planet recommends offset purchasers to research the benefits and critiques of carbon offsetting, including the history and likelihood for them to create environmental injustices for Indigenous Peoples, and to choose offset solutions that explicitly and transparently address the public health and human rights impacts caused by many carbon offset projects. More expert guidance can be found within the SBTI Net-Zero Standard. Additional 1% for the Planet Environmental Partner position statements can be found on our environmental partners web page here.

I have a question that's not listed here!

Please email events@onepercentfortheplanet.org with any additional questions or concerns related to Global Summit.
