On October 8, 2026, Kelp Ark was proud to participate as a Community Partner in the 2026 Net Zero Conference, hosted by Verdical Group at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The conference brought together sustainability professionals, climate experts, and changemakers from around the world to explore solutions in climate action, net-zero strategies, ESG, equity, carbon reduction, and resilience. The Expo Hall was filled with inspiring organizations working toward a more sustainable future, including many fellow 1% for the Planet partners.
For Kelp Ark, the conference was an opportunity to share our mission of preserving marine genetic diversity and helping secure the future of our oceans. Seaweeds play an important role in marine ecosystems and offer promising opportunities for climate resilience, sustainable aquaculture, and ocean restoration. By preserving the genetic diversity of seaweed and other marine resources, Kelp Ark is working to protect valuable biodiversity and support future research, innovation, and restoration efforts.
We enjoyed connecting with fellow organizations, learning from inspiring speakers, and exchanging ideas with people who share our commitment to environmental sustainability. Events like NZ26 remind us that addressing the climate challenge requires collaboration across disciplines, industries, and communities—and that protecting our oceans is an important part of building a more resilient future.
Thank you to Verdical Group for bringing this community together. Our team had a wonderful time at the conference, and we look forward to continuing to build partnerships that advance ocean biodiversity, climate resilience, and a healthier planet.
Banking biodiversity. Securing ocean futures.
