The Hope Summit is an annual conference and festival held in Charleston at the end of September. It highlights multidisciplinary and intersectional challenges facing our world and celebrates community-driven solutions that create agency and hope for communities worldwide to adapt for a bright, regenerative, equitable future.

To heal our world, and ourselves in the process, we must see ourselves as a part of the natural world, not apart from it. We must reframe our understanding of community to embrace its ecological definition of all interconnected life that sustains and regenerates itself within a shared locality.

At The Hope Summit 2024, we will use community-driven solutions to reshape our relationship with water, waterways, and the ocean.
