Following “Overheated,” last year’s climate-focused event in the U.K., the event is set to take place for the first time in North America on November 3 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The event will bring together “climate activists, thought leaders, artists and inspiring voices” in front of a live audience for a day filled with discussion, community building, and resources to help tackle the climate crisis, according to the announcement.
Billie Eilish, an “Overheated” co-founder and a fiece advocate for sustainability in the music business, will also be making an appearance. The event will be livestreamed globally via Eilish’s Official YouTube Channel.
Maggie Baird, founder of Support+Feed said: “I am thrilled that we can bring this unique event to Billie‘s US fans. And to people from all over who can watch the livestream. At this time, more than ever we need everyone to be a climate activist.”
