The SDG Media Summit at Earthx2022 is an invitation-only gathering, organized by PVBLIC Foundation in collaboration with EarthX, that aims to highlight the power of media to drive social change and strategize campaigns around climate change and sustainability.
Taking place on Friday, April 22nd (Earth Day) and Saturday, April 23rd, this gathering will showcase innovative campaigns and initiatives via keynotes speakers, panel discussions and one-on-one interviews, providing a unique opportunity for participants to engage and learn from the top minds in media and build lasting partnerships that further sustainability and spark action on climate change.
In partnership with EarthX, we will bring media representatives together to engage on sustainability issues and highlight three global media campaigns which will be amplified and supported by expo delegates.
We are planning an in-person event that will feature 6-8 high-level conversations. Official attendees will consist of media, marketing, and advertising leaders as well as social media influencers who are passionate about the environment.
