Building on the success of our inaugural Summit in Burlington, Vermont, we’re excited to welcome the Bio-Based Materials Collective to the Hudson Valley for the 2026 Summit.

Tickets will be available soon and space is limited. Last year’s Summit sold out in just two weeks—so once tickets are released, don’t wait.

What

Day 1: Field, Forest, and Factory
A guided tour through the Hudson Valley’s bio-based materials ecosystem—from field and forest to final form. We’ll visit farms practicing regenerative agriculture, learn about regional forestry practices, experience a range of bio-based materials, and explore built projects that showcase their application at scale.

Day 2: Shaping the Future of Bio-Based Materials
Hosted at Scenic Hudson’s Northside Hub in Poughkeepsie, Day 2 brings together diverse leaders in policy, finance, manufacturing, design, and education to share the latest insights from the bio-based materials movement. Together, we’ll imagine what’s next—and identify the actions needed to move the industry forward.

Across both days, there will be ample opportunities to connect with new collaborators and reconnect with familiar faces.
