After5NewYork: The Future of Going Out: Can Nightlife Be Sustainable?

Join sustainability professor and founder for The Future of Going Out: Can Nightlife Be Sustainable?, an engaging session that explores how cities, culture, and business are reimagining nightlife in a more sustainable world. We’ll dive into how design, energy use, transportation, and consumer behavior shape the environmental impact of going out and what it takes to keep nightlife vibrant while reducing its footprint.

This isn’t a lecture on policy or environmental theory. It’s a clear, thought-provoking conversation designed to make complex ideas accessible, with real-world examples, practical insights, and plenty of “I didn’t realize that!” moments along the way. Curiosity encouraged.
