Program

Welcome to the

Red Sky Summit!

We’re thrilled to have you here today at what promises to be an inspiring and transformative event. It’s an honor to bring together such a dynamic group of leaders, innovators, and change-makers—from fire chiefs and agency leaders, to firetech founders and researchers, to utility and insurance leaders, investors and CEOs, nonprofits and philanthropists—we are so glad you are here. With nearly 400 attendees, including 150 new faces this year, we’re continuing to expand our network and amplify our collective impact in tackling the wildfire crisis.

The Red Sky Summit is about more than just wildfire technology—it’s about helping this community foster and implement new ideas to end catastrophic wildfires. Since our first dinner in 2021, we’ve pursued this goal by hosting honest conversations and helping to build trusted partnerships. Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Convective Capital, we’ve grown from dinners to this event, with your participation making all the difference.

We have an incredible lineup of speakers and sessions planned, followed by the heart of this event: intimate, unconference-style discussions where we can explore the ideas that will drive our industry forward. Remember, Chatham House Rules apply to the unconference sessions; you can share what you learned, but you cannot attribute it to a person or organization without their explicit permission. We’ll follow that up with a lively happy hour and over twenty demonstrations of wildfire innovation—from staffing software to BurnBots.

We’re excited to learn from each other, forge new connections, and to work towards a healthier relationship with fire together.

Let’s go!
