Planning is well underway for another exciting year of VERGE. We’re thrilled to again be partnering with Trellis (formerly GreenBiz) to deliver this event. For the third year in a row, you can expect to gain valuable insights from the Energy Track, co-created by CEBA and Trellis.  

If you haven’t yet registered for VERGE 24 — taking place in San Jose, CA, from October 28-31 — make a note to get that done! This event, nestled in Silicon Valley, is set to be a premier gathering for clean energy customers and innovators. The opportunity to collaborate across industries and areas of expertise in over 200 sessions is key to the event’s uniqueness and a draw for its more than 5,000 attendees. 

The Energy Track leverages CEBA’s deep expertise in clean energy procurement in collaboration with Trellis Group’s renowned event curation across climate tech sectors. The Energy Track includes 26 sessions featuring insights from today’s energy leaders. This partnership isn’t just about bringing together two leaders in the field; it’s about creating a space where innovation, strategy, and the future of clean energy come to life.

An emerging topic we’re particularly excited to unpack is on the opportunities and intricacies of the tax benefits provided by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). You’ll leave this session with an understanding of just how important taxes are for clean energy, and how the tax equity and tax credit transfer markets associated with the IRA hold tremendous potential. These mechanisms are more than just financial tools; they represent new pathways for advancing clean energy projects that might otherwise struggle to find funding. The IRA has opened doors to significant tax incentives, making it a hot topic for anyone involved in clean energy.

Outside of meeting rooms, we’re also excited to see everyone at CEBA’s member reception on October 28 from 5 – 7 PM and in our exclusive member lounge, open daily during VERGE. Don’t miss this exclusive gathering space — the only of its kind — to meet up with colleagues and peers and grab a churro or coffee refuel.

At VERGE 24, you’ll have the chance to dive deep into topics like the complexities of clean energy procurement, the latest in climate tech, and understanding the evolving landscape of renewable energy financing. Whether you’re a long-time industry expert or new to the field, the Energy Track has something for you.

Other sessions to look forward to include:

•  Transmission Reforms: Recent progress and what to know across the federal government
•  The Fundamentals of Energy Markets in the US and Getting Started on Your Decarbonization Journey
•  Untangling Scope 2 and Scope 3: Navigating Ambiguity and Driving Innovation

We hope to see you in San Jose, CA, this October for what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event. Register today: CEBA member registration or general registration for non-CEBA members.
