Keep America Beautiful x Jean Oelwang

Our cofounder Jean Oelwang will be speaking at the Keep America Beautiful National Summit in New Orleans, running from February 26–28.

At the heart of the “Greatest American Cleanup”—a bold mission to remove 25 billion pieces of litter—is a simple truth: we cannot achieve a beautiful world alone.

Jean will join inspiring voices like Lucinda Robb (granddaughter of Lady Bird Johnson) and author Anne Lamott to share how purpose-driven leadership can create impact at scale, drawing on her decades of experience building collectives and learning from global leaders.

As Keep America Beautiful gears up for the country’s 250th birthday, there has never been a better time to reset our relationships and commit to collective action.

When: February 26–28, 2026
Where: New Orleans Marriott
Theme: “Let’s Do Beautiful Things, Together!”
