Annual Southeast Florida Climate Leadership Summit 2026

It takes place at Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The organizer identifies participants from business, government, academic, and nonprofit communities.

It is most useful for local government staff, resilience and sustainability officers, and regional business and nonprofit leaders in South Florida, since the Compact convenes those groups and sponsors include the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach chambers and the South Florida Regional Planning Council. Researchers or practitioners outside the region would get less from it, because the agenda is shaped around Southeast Florida's resilience goals and its theme of innovation and climate action, though it is the 18th edition and a regular regional meeting point.

Attendees at government and business summits in South Florida usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts, slacks or dresses, and light fabrics suited to the climate. Some bring a light jacket, since convention center halls are often heavily air conditioned.
