The MicDrop Agency has secured its role as the public relations agency of record for ClimateTech Connect, an organization launched in 2025 that caters to insurers, investors, and policymakers. The firm, which maintains an Austin office, will lead media strategy for upcoming conferences through 2028.
Why it matters
The collaboration highlights the growing prominence of climate-focused industry events that aim to bridge the gap between risk management experts and major media outlets. As climate-related financial losses rise, these professional networks are increasingly central to how industry leaders discuss property and corporate risks.
Climate Central reported 23 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2025, resulting in $115 billion in total losses. This data provides the backdrop for ClimateTech Connect, which serves professionals managing the financial fallout from these events.
