We can’t wait to see you all in Berkeley, California on June 14 at TC Sessions: Climate 2022 (featuring the Extreme Tech Challenge 2022 Global Finals). That’s still slightly more than a month away, but your opportunity to buy an early-bird ticket — and save $200 — disappears in just 72 short hours.

When that deadline arrives, the admission price goes up to $375. Why spend more than necessary? Go buy your early-bird ticket now, before the deadline expires at 11:59 pm (PDT) on Friday, May 6.

We expect more than 1,000 attendees at this, our first climate-focused, event. You’ll hear from — and rub elbows with — the most influential climate tech founders, scientists, engineers, researchers and investors.

Here are just two examples of the inventive climate-change fighters who will grace the stages at TechCrunch stage:

  • AMP Robotics’ Matanya Horowitz, Novoloop’s Miranda Wang and Nth Cycle’s Megan O’Conner will discuss the different methods their respective companies invented to disrupt recycling and drag it into the 21st century.
  • Pat Brown, founder, former CEO and now chief visionary officer at Impossible Foods, will join us to discuss the journey that led him to develop a better plant-based meat, his new role as chief visionary officer and the impact of plant-based diets on the climate.

We will announce many more speakers in the coming weeks, and TechCrunch editorial is accepting speaker recommendations through May 6. If you have someone in mind, submit your recommendation here. Staying on top of everything happening at TC Sessions: Climate is easy — sign up on the website for event updates on speakers, news and ticket specials.

Plus, you’ll have plenty of time during lunch, breaks, roundtables and the closing reception to meet the rich mix of founders, engineers, entrepreneurs, technologists and investors that turn out. CrunchMatch, our AI-powered networking platform helps you quickly find and connect with the right people — you know, the folks who align with your business interests.

TC Sessions: Climate 2022 takes place in Berkeley, California on June 14. Join, connect and collaborate with more than 1,000 people dedicated to saving our planet and its inhabitants. Buy your pass before the deadline expires — in just 72 hours — at 11:59 p.m. (PDT) on Friday, May 6 and save $200.
