EarthX is a global multi-dimensional environmental nonprofit organization dedicated to informing and inspiring people and organizations to take action in ways that help create a sustainable world for all living things and a better, cleaner, healthier world for future generations.
Trammell S. Crow, real estate developer turned environmentalist, founded EarthX in 2010. By inspiring collaboration and partnerships across business and community sectors, he brings people together from all walks of life to explore and put into place solutions to address many of today’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Our goal is to become the leading global connector and environmental organization positively impacting our world. EarthX remains unwavering in its commitment to shed light on the many environmental challenges facing our planet. We are garnering strength by collectively spreading awareness and seeking solutions in the face of adversity.
Every year during Earth Week, EarthX hosts its annual Exposition and Congress of Conferences. This extraordinary forum showcases the latest initiatives, discoveries, research, innovations, policies, and corporate practices serving to reshape the future. It includes four days of exhibits, learning and interactive experiences, outdoor activities, conferences, entertainment, music, and food that provide achievable solutions for a more sustainable planet. If not for being canceled due to Covid, Earth Day’s 2020 event would have included an expected 180,000 attendees based on 2019 numbers and the following:

EarthX Film is a year-round community that supports film, music, culture, and the outdoors. We seek to promote the film and the art of storytelling in a way that entertains, informs, and inspires audiences to get outside, push boundaries, and protect the environment. The 8th annual EarthX Film & Music Festival will be held in Dallas, TX October 20-22, 2023.
“
EARTH IS OUR HOME, and each of us must play a part to ensure that it is here and habitable for future generations.”
Throughout Fair Park we are excited to present musical entertainment from talented local musicians and DJs to enhance and energize your 2023 Expo experience.
Just Vince is a musician, producer and DJ out of Dallas, TX who creates a party environment where people can live their best lives on the dance floor. When not touring the country hosting parties, supporting established artists like Aaron Carter and Cupcakke or collaborating with fast rising acts across genres, he can be found guesting at established monthly parties like Emo Nite LA and Heat Waves TX. For Just Vince, it’s about combining deep cuts and classic jams across eras and genres to craft eclectic mixes that make for an unforgettable experience.
Born and Raised in Orange County, CA - DJ T-Rexx made her way to Dallas, TX in 2002. In her early years, Rex was always inclined with various sports, “Maybe that is why her Tom-Boyish connection with the guys came from”. One thing that was certain was her love for Music - “The Beats and the continuous Sounds of Music, I believe, has played a major role in my Life.” Making her way to the Dallas Nightlife Culture in 2009, the compelling Underground Deejay and Promotion scene continually sparked her interest. “Because my views and vision was different from the girls I was surrounded by, I knew that DJing could balance my wild and artistic personality and lifestyle.” Since 2010 T-Rexx has internationally DJ’d overseas in Asia as well as played for some of Dallas’ top Nightclubs & Events!”
Kee Smith aka Dj Unladylike is a fun-loving, professional and adaptable entrepreneur! Not only has she been a professional dj for the past 8 years , she’s also The singing Dj, an event curator, and all around creative. Unladylike is gender fluid, lives outside the box, and always dreams big. She does not conform to social or gender norms, and is a revolutionary dj blazing their own trail by being Unapologetically Dj Unladylike.
EarthXR will return to the Expo and use AR, MR, and VR to take visitors on wild, immersive journeys - diving with endangered whales, surfing with dolphins, taking care of rescued baby elephants, exploring outer space with NASA, and exploring the most remote areas of the earth - all in virtual and augmented reality.
Join us at the Electric and Alt-Fuel Car Show featuring a wide array of vehicles, including trucks, buses, motorcycles, scooters, and bikes. Experience the future of transportation with charging stations, a Solar Car Challenge, or take a Ride-and-Drive in one of the many featured vehicles.
The 4DWN Experience will be a circular journey through the life cycle of food, the importance of outdoor recreation, exercise, art and community. The whole experience will be in the flow of a globe, showcasing the importance of each individual’s impact on the world around us. You won’t want to miss the world class skate demos, contests and fun!
Come experience a room-sized global display system that uses computers and video projectors to display planetary data. Learn about everything from atmospheric storms and climate change to changes in ocean temperatures.
