Why have a climate-themed demo jam you ask?!
Our goal is to:
Raise awareness on climate change
Get companies to think about how their product can help customers achieve their climate and ESG goals, decarbonize, and reduce their impact on the planet
Educate the sales team and pique their interest in climate literacy and climate action!
Virtual Info Session
