Climate and culture collided and the results were incredible!
The AfterGlow was the official celebration of Toronto Climate Week, designed and produced by Daisley For Good in collaboration with the Climate Communications Alliance and Centre for Social Innovation, to bring climate leaders, champions, innovators, funders and founders together for a high vibes, joy filled, celebration of the people moving climate action forward.
Our goal was to make this event feel like the Vanity Fair party after the Oscars. And, while we’ve never been invited to that party, we think we came close.
More than 200 people gathered to connect, exhale and celebrate. They were treated to lush and welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces, red carpet photo opps, a delicious assortment of plant forward food – as rich and diverse as Toronto itself, sustainable sips, personalized poems, and unforgettable music, all from partners and sponsors who care deeply about our collective future.
What We Did?
- Thoughtfully designed every detail, weaving sustainability, style, and substance seamlessly together.
- Secured sponsorships from mission aligned brands and organizations, including Gore Mutual Insurance, Vancity, Deciem – The Abnormal Beauty Company, Inwit, Georgian Bay Spirit Co, GoodLot Farmstead Brewing Co, Sobrii, and the City of Toronto.
- Promoted across social media channels with a steady stream of engaging posts, videos, and event highlights.
- Collaborated with Climate Communications Alliance, Centre for Social Innovation and Toronto Climate Week to amplify reach and drive participation.
- Engaged and organized an amazing volunteer base, who were an integral part of The AfterGlow’s success.
What Made The AfterGlow... Glow?
So many things, but here are a just a few:
-
Joy as a strategy — we helped remind climate leaders that celebration is an essential ingredient to powering the work.
-
Sustainability in the details — plant‑forward food, zero‑waste catering, sugar‑cane signage and thoughtful rentals showed that low-impact and high-style can be a match made in heaven.
-
Partners who walk the talk — all of our sponsors were mission aligned, helping create a night that was rooted in real action.
-
The magic of great music — DJ Deliciosa brought the fun, high energy beats, and award-winning artists Jordyn Browne and Adam Crossman set the cool outdoor vibes.
-
A signature cocktail moment — The Organik Rebel brought theatre, flavour, and flair to the bar.
-
A vibe that’s still lingering — the glow didn’t end when the lights came up! We’re still hearing buzz about this climate bash.
"As a Toronto Climate Week advisor, [Allison] would bring out of the box ideas on how to engage mission aligned but industry adjacent organizations to increase broader participation in climate. In October and June she hosted major events, demonstrating a keen eye for detail in pulling all the pieces together and a flair for fun. I eagerly await the next big idea Allison is looking to bring to life because I know the impact that it evokes will live on far beyond the day."
