“With RE+24, we feel we reached a new level of interactivity, engagement and relevance for our audiences,” said Stephen Miner, President & CEO, RE+ Events. “Our goal was to offer the depth and breadth of education our stakeholders rely on for up-to-the-minute topics, combined with an impressive range of networking opportunities.”
RE+24 opened with “RE+ Today – From Our Kitchen Tables to the Grid” – Padma Lakshmi, Emmy Award-nominated Host and Executive Producer of Hulu’s Taste the Nation and Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program – hosted a “morning show” with a panel discussing how to best ensure communities have access to clean, safe, and resilient power. Unique perspectives include Suzy Macke, a line worker for Duke Energy; Cody Two Bears, a leader in the tribal energy space; Dan Shugar, CEO, Nextracker
Special programs and exhibits included the Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) Final. This event united high school students from four continents to race mini-fuel cell-powered hydrogen cars. A special presentation was made to Schwarzenegger Institute Environmental Policy Director (and former California State Senator) Fran Pavley.
Another especially popular attraction – the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) in partnership with RE+ – presented the Agrivoltaics Showcase (complete with “solar sheep”) to demonstrate “solar grazing” – the art of raising sheep under solar panels to control vegetation.
RE+ 25 returns to Las Vegas, September 8-11.
RE+ 24 brings the modern energy industry together to foster a cleaner future and marks its 20th year as the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry. What began as Solar Power International (SPI) has evolved into RE+, uniting an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities. Today, RE+ incorporates business opportunities and education content across the clean energy industry including solar, energy storage, hydrogen, microgrids, EV charging and infrastructure, and wind energy. Developed by the nation’s leading solar energy organizations, the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), RE+ reflects an ongoing entrepreneurial approach to renewing best practices across the clean energy landscape as the marketplace evolves.
