The final countdown is on! We’ve officially entered flannel season and VERGE 24 is just under a month away.

There’s a lot to be excited about this year, but we’re especially eager to participate in the expert-filled energy track, co-developed by CEBA, that includes breakout sessions and networking. We’re thrilled to again have special spaces and events for CEBA members to fully engage in our innovative community. 

Not registered? No worries, there is still time! Access perks to being a CEBA member here, and for non-members we encourage you to register and pop into a CEBA session and introduce yourself (spots are limited and going fast). Have questions about membership passes? Feel free to reach out to hgollan@cebuyers.org. 

Once you’re registered — it’s time to start itinerary planning and packing. To make sure you’re fully prepared and in the know, no matter where you’re traveling from, we’ve got five things to know for this year’s event.

Pack layers. The weather can shift from warm afternoons to chilly nights. Don’t forget a raincoat or umbrella for unexpected rainfall.

Download the Whova event app. Whova is the best way to access up-to-date agenda information, connect with other attendees and see all things VERGE in real time. Be sure to login to the app with the same email address you used to register for VERGE 24 — no code is needed! Need to change your email? Reach out to support@trellis.net.

Plan your time. The detailed agenda is live on the VERGE 24 site. In the CEBA Connect track you’ll find essential energy content, showcasing CEBA staff and members who will offer their perspectives on the current market landscape, its challenges, and ways we can work together to advance our collective mission of providing custom-driven clean energy for everyone.

Schedule in some fun! We are excited to invite all CEBA members to kick-off the week at our CEBA Connect private reception on Monday, October 28. We’ll have light fare and fun as we prepare for a jam-packed three days. If you have time after the conference to explore, you can check out the Winchester Mystery House, Santana Row, or a San Jose Sharks hockey game.

Pack the essentials. Multi-day conferences can be tiring so don’t forget to hydrate and protect your skin with sunscreen when spending time outdoors. What else? The convention center has a nearby gift shop with any essentials you may forget — so don’t worry if you forget about your mini toothpaste. If you have any questions leading up to VERGE 24, reach out to the team at communications@cebuyers.org. We’ll see you in the Golden State!
