Hillary Clinton to Speak at Environmental Media Association Summit
The Environmental Media Association has officially announced the speakers and panelists for its 8th annual EMA Impact Summit, which will feature a closing conversation with Hillary Clinton.
Taking place June 4 and 5 at the Pendry West Hollywood, the event unites Hollywood environmentalists with a wide range of innovators, entrepreneurs, creatives and corporations to discuss bringing sustainability to the forefront. Secretary Clinton will join EMA to dive into the devastating effects of climate change on early childhood development and how her work through the Clinton Foundation’s Too Small to Fail initiative is advancing new solutions. She will also focus on climate storytelling from a new frame, expanding on the silent crisis impacting pregnant women and young children.
Other big-name participants include Rainn Wilson, who will moderate a chat with representatives from Tony’s Chocoloney and Rodney Strong Vineyards about their organic products and practices; True Detective creator Issa Lopez and director Eli Roth, who will discuss inputting climate messaging into horror and thriller projects; and Phil Rosenthal and David Wild, who will record a live version of their podcast Naked Lunch, featuring Ted Danson.
This year’s EMA Impact Summit will mark the 20th anniversary of the EMA Green Seal program — a sustainable production standard that is now adopted by studios and productions worldwide. Dedicated panels at the summit will delve into the program’s evolution over the years and the adaptation of sustainability practices in the entertainment industry.
A complete list of speakers, two-day passes and sponsorship packages can be found here. Cocktail receptions presented by Toyota Motor North America will conclude both days of the summit.
