Scott Donachie founded Decarb Summits to solve a single challenge: bringing the right decision-makers into the room to get energy transition projects built. Decarb Summits hosts invitation-only, highly curated roundtables and private gatherings where leaders across energy, data centers, healthcare, and real estate connect to deploy capital and close transactions. Rather than large-scale conferences, the platform focuses on high-signal, confidential environments designed to turn strategic alignment into executed business deals.
