Hosted at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus, the Spring 2026 PIVOT Conference is a dynamic, multi-day gathering designed to accelerate climate action through collaboration, innovation, and community engagement.
The conference features immersive off-site solutions in action, thought-provoking keynotes, and dynamic panel discussions.
A central focus will be placed on sector-specific streams including: Education & Community, Finance & Policy, and Industry & Infrastructure. Each stream is designed to foster cross-sector dialogue and drive tangible solutions.
From Indigenous-led conservation and sustainable finance to green workforce development and smart infrastructure, PIVOT 2026 aims to bring together changemakers to inspire a just,
sustainable future starting right here in Hamilton.
