HATCH Summit
The annual convening of 100 of the most provocative innovators, inventors, and cultural catalysts from across disciplines and generations.
100 catalysts. Four days. One place.
Catskills 2026 gathers 100 catalysts around food systems and nourishment, the week before Climate Week NYC.
In this cross-pollinated environment, ideas move freely, creative energy builds, and meaningful connections take root. Designed for both global leaders and NextGen voices, the four-day Summit creates space to exchange ideas, share resources, and challenge one another's thinking.
The result is more than a gathering — it's a catalyst unlocking creative potential, bridging disciplines, and accelerating relationships that collectively design around solutions to the complex challenges shaping our world.
