GreenBiz 21 (Feb. 9-11, online) will bring together a powerful community of more than 1,500 professionals from business, government, academia and NGOs for three days of inspiring sessions, engaging special programs and unparalleled networking.

The Emerging Leaders program aims to elevate, cultivate and support the next generation of BIPOC leaders in sustainable business. The program creates a pathway into the sustainability industry for students and early-career professionals who face barriers to entry in the field, and wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend GreenBiz 21. Selected applicants will have a front-row seat to engage with sustainability professionals and leaders in the field. The Emerging Leaders program aims to foster a community of sustainability professionals that is diverse and representative of the world in which we live.

The selected GreenBiz 21 Emerging Leaders will receive full access to the conference, curated networking opportunities and mentorship from leaders in sustainable business and recognition at the event, along with additional opportunities exclusive to the cohort.

To apply, applicants must:

- Currently reside in the United States or Canada
- Be enrolled at an accredited college or university as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student
- OR be an early-career professional (age 21-29 at the time of the event)
