ESIIL Innovation Summit 2026

Join the Environmental Data Science Innovation and Impact Lab (ESIIL) for their 4th annual ESIIL Innovation Summit: AI for Sustainability in Boulder, Colorado from May 12-14! Attendees will dive into cutting-edge AI approaches for environmental data science, learn how to apply these methods within their own research and organizations, and collaborate on AI-ready datasets, tools, and use cases. 

The Summit is designed for anyone eager to shape the future of AI-driven environmental discovery. This event is ideal for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers who work with, or aspire to work with, AI, data science, and large-scale environmental information to advance sustainability. Participants from a range of different sectors, disciplinary expertise, career stage and experience are encouraged to apply. 

NEON is a strategic data partner of ESIIL. We encourage attendees to consider ways in which NEON data and samples can be incorporated into discussions, workgroups, and event outputs.

There is no registration fee for accepted participants to attend the Summit, and a limited number of travel awards are available to help defray airfare/mileage and accommodation costs.
