Climate Swim & Coffee

​A cold dip, then hot coffee.

​Join impactECI (impactECI.com) for a morning harbour swim at Kalvebod Bølge, followed by coffee nearby at Espresso House. It's the simplest possible climate week event: a clean harbour, a cold dip, and an unhurried hour with the people building the transition, sharing stories from the week so far.

​The morning

• ​09:00 - Meet at Kalvebod Bølge. Swim the delimited harbour zone, brave the cold-water dip, or keep your shirt on and cheer from the boardwalk. All three are correct.

• ​09:45 - Towel off and walk two minutes to Espresso House (Kalvebod Brygge 10).

• ​10:00-11:00 - Informal coffee, introductions, and the easy conversations that turn a conference into a community. Founders, investors, operators, students, and the plain curious; all welcome.

​No agenda, no name tags, no pitch. Just the clearest demonstration of what Copenhagen has built: a working harbour you can swim in on a Saturday morning.

​What to bring Swimwear and a towel if you're getting in. Warm layers for after (the water sits around 16-17°C in September) some of us has built up a tolerance :)

​Getting there Kalvebod Bølge is a free, public harbour bath on Kalvebod Brygge, a short walk from Copenhagen Central Station and Dybbølsbro. Bring a friend.
