A note from Katrina Koop, CEO of Humble Alliance: "Happy New Year! Bullpen is our first gathering of 2026, and it's built around one simple idea: the best connections happen organically. No curation, no gatekeeping - just real conversations, unexpected fits, and the kind of serendipity that sparks new partnerships. I'd love for you to be part of it.”

Bullpen is happening on January 8, 4-6 PM ET - a fast, interactive space where real conversations lead to real opportunities. It's intentionally uncurated because some of the best partnerships happen when you meet the right person at exactly the right moment. Bullpen is designed to make those moments possible.

In just two hours, you’ll meet founders, investors, scientists, and innovators from across sustainable and ethical innovation ecosystem - and you’ll actually talk to them. No panels. No fluff. Just real networking and real opportunities...and more networking.
