01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You sell into North American compliance carbon markets (RGGI, California cap-and-trade, Quebec, Alberta TIER), carbon removal, or MRV and carbon accounting software, or you need direct access to the regulators and policy staff shaping subnational and federal carbon rules, and USD 899 per delegate plus New York costs pencils out for two days of dense practitioner conversations.
Consider another event if
You need an exhibition-led format or confirmed corporate voluntary-credit buyer participation. Some agenda roundtables require invitations; confirm access to the sessions relevant to your offer.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends
IETA describes the event as drawing hundreds of delegates spanning government officials, carbon market analysts, and industry practitioners, with no independently verified attendance breakdown published. The 2026 sponsor roster runs from the American Forest Foundation at platinum level through 1PointFive, Fastmarkets, S&P Global Energy and Verra at gold, LRQA EcoEngineers and OPIS at silver, and API, Beveridge & Diamond, Cool Effect and StoneX at bronze. That mix puts carbon project developers, registries, traders, price reporting agencies, and compliance-market service providers in the room. ICE and Verra both run their own program sessions on Day 1.
How large is the event?
The organizer describes hundreds of delegates without a specific confirmed 2026 count. The main summit runs September 22–23.

The practical questions
Before you decide
Is North America Climate Summit (NACS) 2026 still upcoming?
This edition ended on September 23, 2026. We have no later confirmed edition in this guide. Use the information as historical context.
Where can I find the North America Climate Summit (NACS) exhibitor list?
We have not linked a public exhibitor directory for this edition. Ask the organizer about current directories and attendee access.
Does a company listing confirm who will attend?
A sponsor, exhibitor or speaker listing establishes that published role. It does not establish which employees will attend or whether they are buying. Previous-edition examples remain historical.
How can Emitree help with North America Climate Summit (NACS)?
We can research relevant accounts and prepare follow-up using your event notes, contacts and public sources. We qualify the accounts against your offer and run agreed outreach in your team's voice.
