PIVOT TECH is a conference to Advance Solutions to Global Warming Through Decarbonizing Buildings, Industry and Transportation.
The daylong conference is expected to attract more than 200 attendees from across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
The program is intended for individuals and teams responsible for decarbonizing their organization, sector or community. Content will appeal to leaders looking to prepare organization for the incoming waves of disruptive change. The goal is to connect solution seekers with solution providers who have knowledge, skills and experience in accelerating the transition to net zero.
The program will highlight engineered solutions at the forefront of decarbonization, including fossil-free energy sources and infrastructure, AI-enabled conservation strategies, breakthroughs in low-carbon manufacturing, and innovations in energy storage and distribution, to name a few.

The program will feature thought leaders and practitioners who are opening new pathways in decarbonization, such as alternative energy sources, AI-enabled innovations, and new financial models to de-risk investments in a low-carbon future.
Sector-specific content relevant to buildings, industry and transportation will be delivered in three concurrent streams. Speakers and panelists from business, academia, government, and the NGO sector will provide actionable information and insights through sharing case studies, research findings, and lived experiences. Sample topics include conversions to fossil-free energy sources, lessons in circular manufacturing, and implementing low-carbon urban design models.
This action-oriented conference will deliver:
Insights on technology’s role in driving the global energy transition
Examples of low-carbon technologies in buildings, industry and transportation
Takeaways to help organizations and communities decarbonize through technological innovations
Opportunities to connect with a growing community of technology innovators
Outcomes to strengthen our local decarbonization ecosystem[/fancy_box][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”]
