American Forest Congress

A two-part collider strategy to engage storytellers in America's forest future.

In collaboration with Doris Duke Foundation, we hosted a delegation of creators at the 9th American Forest Congress, a gathering that has catalyzed major forestry breakthroughs, including the creation of the U.S. Forest Service. 

For the first time, creators had a seat at the table to meet forestry leaders, participate in think-tanks and policy conversations, and vote on resolutions that will shape America's forests future.

Our Two-Part Collider:

Part 1: The Think Tank We hosted a 90-minute private session during our Hollywood Climate Summit conference at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. This intimate think tank prepared 15 creators with the context and connections they'd need to maximize their Forest Congress experience.

Part 2: The Embedded Experience We brought 10 creators directly to the 9th American Forest Congress, providing exclusive access to participate in conversations shaping America's forest future. Creators had dedicated space to meet forest leaders and access to a media studio for interviewing key speakers.
