As the Pacific Northwest races toward a more sustainable future, can our energy systems keep pace with the demands of electric vehicles, data centers, and climate policy?

At September’s Civic Cocktail, we’ll dig into the intersection of clean energy innovation and climate resiliency—from fusion power and hydrogen hubs to transportation upgrades and public-private partnerships.

Panelists will explore what it takes to power the future while protecting our region’s communities and environment. Whether you’re curious about your own carbon footprint or the policies driving state-level energy transitions, this is a conversation that brings climate challenges down to earth.

Grab a cocktail and join us for a night of powerful ideas and practical solutions. Ticketing link will be available soon.

About Civic Cocktail

Civic Cocktail connects elected and community leaders with the public for lively conversations about important issues facing our region. Whether you’re new to the Pacific Northwest, a self-described “civic nerd,” or looking to meet people engaged in their communities, your evening at this beloved program is sure to be friendly, fun, and fascinating. Civic Cocktail’s welcoming and conversational tone is inspired by our Dialogue Across Differences initiative. We hope you can join in person, where the conversation happens over tasty bites and festive libations, but you can still enjoy the experience wherever you are by watching virtually.
