Notable speakers have included oceanographer Angelicque White, astrophysicist Risa Wechsler, environmental scientist Kelsey Johnson, and science journalist Molly Webster. The event has also featured speakers working at the intersection of policy, innovation, and institutional practice, such as museum innovation expert Amanda Schochet and environmental policy leader Mike Brown.
