Annual Sustain Dane Summit 2026

The summit is held at Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center in Madison, Wisconsin.

The organizer identifies sustainability enthusiasts and people from across sectors as attendees.

It is most useful for sustainability staff at Wisconsin businesses, nonprofits and utilities who want a cross-sector day, since sponsors range from a solar installer and a compost hauler to a credit union and a public utility, and this year's theme uses the food system as its worked example. Specialists seeking deep technical training would get less from it, because the stated aim is broad learning, connection and skill-building for a mixed audience rather than a single discipline.

Attendees at sustainability conferences usually wear casual business attire, such as sweaters, chinos or dark jeans, and comfortable shoes. A warm layer is sensible for a Wisconsin day in November.
