About RE+ Events
Presented by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), RE+ Events strives to keep the industry moving forward by offering cutting-edge events centered around the trends, technology, and research that power the industry.
Unlike other energy conferences, all proceeds from RE+ events go right back to the industry to support SEIA and SEPA’s year-round research, education activities, and advisory efforts, alongside SEIA’s advocacy.
Commitment to Collaboration
The success of RE+ Events is heavily driven by the two non-profit membership organizations behind it. The partnership between SEPA and SEIA, through their joint ownership of RE+ Events, has resulted in the creation of a robust suite of business and education opportunities for the clean energy industry. RE+ Events organizers and speakers will strive to create a welcoming, collaborative environment for all attendees and stakeholders. RE+ Events covers a variety of issues, including hot topics that can inspire debate. These conversations make our industry stronger and facilitate the healthy exchange of ideas in a collegial setting. All RE+ Events speakers will strive to present balanced perspectives on all issues in a professional, constructive manner.
