The Inertia is proud to host our inaugural EVOLVE Summit at Playa Studios in Los Angeles, California.

Thank you to our partners for making this monumental gathering possible.

A portion of proceeds to benefit these amazing organizations.

About EVOLVE

We developed our inaugural gathering with two objectives in mind.

First, we want to tackle our most pressing challenges by encouraging conversations among thought leaders in surf and outdoors.

Second, we want to honor inspiring individuals who choose to make positive contributions to the culture at large.
