We’re excited to announce the return of ConveneNV 2026, ImpactNV’s annual sustainability summit and Nevada’s premier gathering of public, private, nonprofit, academic, and community leaders working to shape the future of our state. This year’s theme, “Nevada’s Next Chapter: Leading the Future Through Sustainable Growth,” reflects a defining moment for Nevada and the world. As highlighted in the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2026, today’s geopolitical and economic instability may dominate the near-term conversation, but environmental risks — including extreme weather, ecosystem collapse, and resource scarcity — increasingly define the long-term global outlook, accounting for half of the top 10 global risks over the next decade.

For Nevada, these challenges are not theoretical — they are already reshaping our communities, economy, infrastructure, and quality of life. From extreme heat and water stress to rapid growth, technological disruption, housing pressures, and economic diversification, Nevada is emerging as both a proving ground and first responder for the future of sustainable development in the American West. ConveneNV 2026 will bring together approximately 300 leaders from across sectors to explore how Nevada can lead through innovation, resilience, and cross-sector collaboration while balancing the environmental, economic, social, and technological risks shaping the next decade. Through keynote conversations, roundtables, and strategic dialogue, ConveneNV will examine not only the risks ahead — but the opportunity for Nevada to help define what sustainable growth looks like in a rapidly changing world.
