The New Jersey Sustainability Summit brings together the leaders and innovators driving change across our state. This energizing one-day gathering uplifts the people, projects, and ideas shaping a more sustainable New Jersey—while offering clear, practical lessons for what comes next. Attendees at the 2025 Summit left equipped with actionable resources, new strategies, and connections to strengthen their own community efforts. This year, you can too. Come ready to broaden your perspective, build your network, and advance your work toward a more sustainable future.
*Breakfast & lunch are included in the cost of registration. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options will be available. Please bring your favorite reusable coffee cup & water bottle.
Registration will be open soon.
Sustainability Exhibit
Bring solutions back to your community! The Sustainability Exhibit is not your typical business expo. It’s your opportunity to meet experts, and learn about new products hitting the market and available resources and strategies to enhance your sustainability efforts. The list of 2026 Exhibitors will be posted soon.
Network
This annual event presents the opportunity for municipal and school district officials and staff, environmental commission and green team members to connect with each other in person and with state agency, non-profit, academic, and business representatives making change happen. Gain tips for success and explore opportunities to join forces on projects to have a more regional impact!
Post-Summit Happy Hour
After the event we will be hosting a cash bar "happy hour" to keep those connections going at Bar Bella's indoor and outdoor lounges. Don't drink? Don't worry. Grab a coffee, snack or mocktail from one of the Bell Works shops and bring it on the patio.
A One-of-a-Kind Location
We are returning to Bell Works, the historic former Bell Labs building (and location of the TV series Severance). Located just minutes from the Garden State Parkway (exit 114) and the Hazlet NJ Transit stop. Parking will be available in the BLUE and RED colored lots on the southeast end of the main building. View the parking map.
The lovely grounds will invite you to take your networking and lunch outdoors for a walk around the lake or simply chill on the patio.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Bring your EV! Twelve Tesla Destination Chargers with built in J1772 adapters are conveniently located in the Blue (2) and Red (4) lots.
