The New Jersey Sustainability Summit is a momentous event in our state, drawing change-makers from across the political, private, and public sectors. This exceptional one-day forum spotlights the successes and lessons learned from the people and projects that are helping New Jersey realize a more sustainable future. 2022 Summit attendees walked away with tangible resources and strategies to assist with their own community initiatives. This is your opportunity to do the same. We invite all who are interested to be ready to deepen their understanding and expand their network.

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.

The lovely grounds will invite you to take your networking and lunch outdoors for a walk around the lake, or a chill on the patio.
