The Microreactor Salon: Tiny Nuclear vs. the Climate Crisis

Join us for the first ever ClimateWeek NYC event dedicated to nuclear microreactors!

These tiny reactors, small enough to fit in a shipping container, can each power up to five thousand homes—with zero-carbon emissions. The science is proven, but theory will take us only so far. Startups are now racing to demonstrate their first-of-a-kind. Buzz is building.

At 7pm, a short presentation will introduce newcomers to key concepts and engage professionals in lively debate. Light food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available. Views of the Highline at sunset are set to stun.

Imposter Syndrome Workshop

The event will feature the delivery of two comprehensive 3-hour workshops, tailored to different audiences. The first workshop will be held in the morning for a corporate audience, while the second session will take place later in the day, potentially in the late afternoon, for students at the University of Calgary. Both workshops will address the common challenges of self-doubt and lack of confidence, guiding participants in developing personalized action plans. The sessions will delve into the nature of confidence, identify key causes of low confidence, and examine the distorted thoughts and emotional traps that hinder confident actions. Participants will also gain practical "take-away" skills, habits, and tips to build or reinforce their confidence levels, ensuring they leave with tangible strategies for improvement.
