The Hope Summit is an annual conference and festival, held by the Carolina Ocean Alliance, in Charleston at the end of September to highlight the challenges facing our community and celebrate the community-driven solutions possible through the dozens of nonprofits, community organizations, schools, and local agencies working to create agency and hope in coastal South Carolina.
Now in its fourth year, The Hope Summit has grown into a 4-day gathering including a two-day conference, a two-day film festival, a community-solutions festival with an arts and creative solutions showcase, and a day of outings and unique Lowcountry experiences. This is a multidisciplinary and intersectional gathering of knowledge of capacity sharing with core thematic tracks that include water quality and plastic pollution, stewardship and citizen science, governance, ecological restoration, resilience and adaptation, educators as catalysts of change, environmental justice, and traditional knowledge ways in experiencing and managing terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
At the festival, meet dozens of local nonprofits and organizations serving local communities, browse the sustainable ecopreneurs market, celebrate World Rivers Day, explore breathtaking discoveries from the Blake Plateau, find your Fall reading list at The Hope Summit Book Fair, and discover the many ways you can be part of the future you want to see in our community.

The festival is a family-friendly event that is free and open to the public
