Panelists include Dr. Ben Strauss, CEO of Climate Central, Hannah Jenner, skipper of 40 Degrees Racing, and Chip Giller, President and Founder of Grist.org.

Tickets are $115/ticket, or a 'boatload' for $100/person for ten tickets. Drinks and appetizers will be served at the event, scheduled on May 16th from 6-9 p.m. at World Center Hotel at 144 Washington Street, New York, NY.
