January Events

CALSTART 2025 Member Symposium: Burbank, CA

The fast-moving and deadly fires across Los Angeles County have forced us to postpone our January 13–14 Member Symposium in Burbank.

The fires throughout Los Angeles and near our headquarters in Pasadena are a bleak reminder of the climate crisis and its consequences. It is undeniable that climate change increases the frequency and intensity of devastating events. These fires also remind us that our work is all too critical—and that each of us has a vital role to play in bringing about climate solutions.

We plan to reschedule this annual gathering as it is an important way for our community to come together to learn, share, and nurture impactful partnerships that drive sustainable transportation forward.

Thank you for your understanding, and please remain safe.

Date: Postponed due to wildlfires. Rescheduled dates TBD.
Location: Burbank, Marriott, 2500 N Hollywood Way Burbank, CA 91505
Registration Cost: CALSTART Member: $315 | NGOs: $140 | Non-Member: $550

CALSTART is excited to bring both our valued members and prospective members together for an in-person event designed to foster partnerships and generate momentum for our FY25 strategies. This Symposium is an opportunity to collaborate and share ideas, as we collectively work to accelerate the growth of the U.S. clean transportation industry.
