The Mad Men of Big Oil : Hollywood's role in the story of climate change

6:45pm: Doors Open

7:30pm: Keynote

8:00pm: The Mad Men of Big Oil

To many of us, climate (and general) disinformation feels untraceable, uncontrollable, and expanding faster than we can counteract it. Did you know that the roots of disinformation tactics tie directly to Big Industry’s playbook? Major corporations have been shaping our concepts of social, political, and environmental issues through marketing and PR since the late 1800s.

Hosted by Executive Editor of DRILLED, Amy Westervelt, this program will feature a comedic investigative journalism experience spotlighting the hot takes of leading activists, creatives, and journalists combating climate and fossil fuel disinformation.

9:00pm: Light reception
