Maryland Climate Tech+ Conference

On March 19th, Conor Keitzer joined “America250: The Underground Underwater Bus Tour” as part of the Maryland Climate Tech+ 2026 conference. This was a wonderful event that included lunch at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge, MD where we learned about their wide-ranging sustainability efforts. For instance, using sustainable tees at their golf course and planting native grasses to reduce water use. After lunch, we took part in a guided tour of Harriet Tubman’s Dorchester County. The tour is a powerful example of how climate change will impact so many different aspects of our lives, including eroding our history. Much of Harriet Tubman’s world will be underwater before the end of the century. The last stop was a tour of the oyster hatchery at UMCES Horn Point Lab, where it’s always incredible to see their efforts to restore the Bay’s oysters. It was inspiring to meet so many resilience leaders and practitioners working to make the world more resilient, and we are looking forward to next year’s conference!
