An Epic NYC Climate Week

The Epic team recently returned from a whirlwind New York Climate Week, coinciding with concurrent meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, the Climate Ambition Summit, and the Clinton Global Initiative. We were thrilled to participate in events through the action-packed week, where we had the opportunity to elevate the critical topic of water on a truly global stage.

💧 Our first stop was the Sciens Rethinking Water Conference hosted at Columbia University where Epic Co-Founder and CEO, Aaron Tartakovsky, participated in a panel discussion on circular water reuse solutions in the real estate industry. Watch the recap video.

🌎 Next up was a stop at Fast Company Innovation Festival where Aaron represented Epic on stage alongside other visionaries from Scale AI, Dell Technologies, Pandora and Lithos Carbon — all 2023 World Changing Ideas honorees. Watch video recap.

🏅 We topped the week off with a major award win — Epic was named the grand prize winner at The Real Estate Tech Awards (RETA), one of the most prestigious honors in the commercial real estate industry. More on that in our blog linked below!

🍺 We were delighted to discuss our Epic OneWater Brew campaign during a meeting with the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER), a group of 17 of the leading global beverage companies in the world. Comprised of companies like ABInBev, Bacardi, Carlsberg Group, The Coca-Cola Company, Heineken, Pepsi and more, we shared our findings from our own work distributing a recycled water beverage and our firm belief that industry and society alike have underestimated the public’s readiness for expanded water reuse.

🍻 Our Epic OneWater Brew was the official recycled water beer sponsor of events throughout New York City, including Fifth Wall's happy hour, Sciens Rethinking Water Conference and Antenna Group's media panel.
