2026 GBNN Summit

Join us for the 2026 Green Business National Network (GBNN) Summit in San Diego, CA!

For program managers, directors, and technical assistance providers, the Summit bridges the gap between local business sustainability work and national impact. Attendees will:
- Learn best practices for engaging and supporting businesses that achieve local impact
- Identify tools, strategies, and program models to jumpstart or deepen business engagement
- Discover actionable strategies to secure utility partnerships, federal and state grants, and more
- Uncover methods to track and report key metrics like energy savings, waste diversion, and emissions reductions to funders
- Embed environmental justice into technical assistance to better support diverse small business districts
- Build direct, year-round connections with regional and national program leaders navigating the exact same challenges.
Each Summit day will run from 8:30 am to 5 pm PST. Learn about the Summit and register here.
