The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day deserved a celebration like never before. And with the world at home in the midst of a global pandemic — that’s exactly what it got — as EarthX brought our annual event to its largest audience ever through a virtual livestream reaching all corners of the globe.
On April 22, 2020, the world tuned in for this environmental event of a lifetime. Conservatives and Liberals. Democrats and Republicans. Activists with different viewpoints, all sharing a vision for a healthy and sustainable planet.
There were interactive conferences sparking great discussions. New films documenting a need for collective action. And immersive content with hours upon hours of thought-provoking material.
And at the end of it all a new television platform was born. Welcome to EarthxTV.
EXPO is a major annual public event held around Earth Day in April to celebrate progress, hope, and innovation. Topping 137,000 in 2018, it has grown to become the largest event in the world of its kind. EXPO-Earthx2019 brings together environmental organizations, businesses, academic institutions, government agencies, speakers, interactive programming, and subject matter experts along with live music, art and food. EarthX creates a fun and engaging atmosphere for thought and experiential learning.
Trammell S. Crow is the founder of EarthX (formerly known as Earth Day Texas), the largest annual exposition and forum showcasing the latest initiatives, discoveries, research, innovations, policies and corporate practices serving to re-shape the future. With a focus on inspiring environmental leadership across sectors and party lines, Trammell has succeeded in bringing together people and organizations from all walks of life to explore and collaborate on solutions for some of today’s most pressing environmental solutions.
What started in 2011 as an outdoor event spanning five blocks in Dallas’ Arts District has grown to occupy approximately 500,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space in Dallas’ historic Fair Park.
When a local environmental issue came up with a utility company applying to build numerous coal-burning plants, a group of business people in Dallas stood up and opposed it and Trammell S. Crow joined that effort.
He discovered there were Texans who were willing to oppose the establishment and stand up for the environment. Crow says, “That battle was eventually won, but it was won by business, not by protesting.”
After winning that battle, the idea for an Earth Day EXPO was founded by Crow to create environmental awareness and give the general public ways to make changes in their everyday lives. The EXPO has grown to allow businesses, government agencies
In 2018, EarthX hosted more than 137,000 attendees, over 600 exhibitors and 400 speakers, becoming the largest annual environmental exposition and programming initiative in the world. While many of the EarthX efforts are centered on the three-day event in April, numerous year-round events are being launched to generate additional awareness and inspire people to get involved and help make a difference.
EarthX continues to present attendees and participants with breakthrough solutions and fascinating innovations that will empower them to make a difference in their communities and the world – 365 days a year.
