​The South Is on Fire: Southern Solutions Live

​2:30–3:30 PM | Green Grants Exchange Launch
Join the Southeast Sustainability Directors Network for the launch of the Green Grants Exchange, a new AI-driven decision-support platform designed to help local governments find, access, and act on federal and state funding. Enjoy Southern-inspired refreshments while getting a first look at this technology in action.

​Michael Dexter, SSDN's Senior Director for Impact and Implementation, will launch the Green Grants Exchange, developed with support from Georgia Tech students and bringing data from more than 50 federal and state funding programs together in one place.

​Through live demonstrations and conversations, participants will see how this platform can help communities identify and navigate funding opportunities, explore funding trends, and better understand how dollars are being distributed across the Southeast.

​Come to:

• ​See the Green Grants Exchange in action and learn what's next for the platform.

• ​Explore funding trends and how dollars are being distributed across the Southeast.

• ​Connect with fellow attendees over Southern-inspired refreshments before the panel and reception.

​Come see what's being built, meet the people building it, and leave with new ideas and connections for your own work.
