BOOST, or “Building Opportunities for Original and Sustainable Thinking,” has been a longstanding program to support emerging entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to promote sustainability in their communities with innovative products and solutions. BOOST is an annual pitchfest where the audience decides the winners of the competition. At the end of the evening, you will decide who wins this year’s $5,000 grand prize award! Please save the date of October 17th to join us for BOOST 2024 at Edelman’s Chicago office (virtual attendance also welcome)!

This year, we will host BOOST as part of a special year-long anniversary commemorating Delta Institute’s 25th anniversary of collaborating with communities across the Midwest to solve complex, environmental challenges as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We will be sharing more details about the anniversary details, including BOOST, in the weeks to come. For now, please save the date of October 24 for BOOST 2023 to join us in person in Chicago or online as a hybrid event!
