Only 300 tickets were available, and the event was livestreamed to viewers worldwide. It featured notable activists and panels focusing on environmental issues. Throughout the event, guest speakers, including Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Jasmine Crowe Houston, shared insights on environmental justice and sustainable living. The panels, such as 'What We Eat Matters' and 'Your Vote, Your Power', aimed to engage participants with actionable solutions to combat climate crises. The conference aimed to unite leaders and activists while providing resources and discussions about climate change's impact on communities. This year’s edition followed the inaugural Overheated event held in London in 2022. The initiative by Support + Feed seeks to address issues like food security and climate change by advocating for accessible plant-based food. With its presence in various U.S. cities and plans for global expansion, Support + Feed aims to bring climate-positive actions to communities everywhere.
