KICK OFF THE WEEK IN STYLE

The CEBA Welcome Reception on Monday October 24 is the can’t-miss event to kick off VERGE 22. This member-only outdoor gathering is the perfect time to re-connect and relax before the exciting content in the Energy Program. Make sure to be there at 5 PM for a special welcome from member AES and CEBA CEO Miranda Ballentine. 

CONNECT WITH ENERGY CUSTOMERS

CEBA Energy Customer’s Morning is a member-only opportunity for energy customers to connect with one another and exchange knowledge, questions, and innovative ideas. Collaborate with your peers to share solutions to market barriers on Tuesday at 9 AM. 

HAVE A CHAT IN THE CEBA STATION

Stop in for a coffee and a chat at the CEBA station all week long. In this members-only lounge, hang out with the CEBA board, the executive leadership team, and other CEBA staffers to learn more about CEBA initiatives — or just to ask SVP David Haines about life in DC and VP Mark Porter about his favorite cake.  There also might be some fun presents for members… you’ll have to come by to find out!
