Message from the Director

Welcome to the Twentieth Annual Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century. We hope you can join us at this award winning and unique Annual Symposium on Friday, April 12th, at the Gateway Building SUNY ESF.

Each year, those in attendance hear top speakers from the entire country who cover the most up to date policy and funding opportunities, as well as the most up to date and newest renewable energy sources available or are presently being worked on. No wonder this Symposium draws 400 people both in person and virtual, each year.

Each of these outstanding speakers present for fifteen minutes and then are part of a panel discussion for an hour and a half with Kit Kennedy, as moderator. The questions discussed are generated from those in attendance.

Whether you are a CEO of a major corporation, a sustainability planner, developer, student, union member or an interested and concerned citizen, this information will be relevant and vital! Make sure to check out our loyal and diverse sponsors below.

This is an event you should not miss! These are among the most important topics to be discussed this year:

  • THE “IRA” INFLATION REDUCTION ACT IMPACTS FOR MANUFACTURING, INCENTIVES FOR NON-PROFITS & MUNICIPALITIES
  • LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: WHAT IS “GREEN HYDROGEN” AND HOW WILL IT BE USED EFFECTIVELY
  • USING THERMAL ENERGY EFFECTIVELY ON A LARGE SCALE
  • LABOR AND THE CLIMATE FUTURE
  • INCREASING RENEWABLE ENERGY INCLUDING HYDROGEN IN THE GRID

Thank you to our devoted sponsors. We could not do what we do without them. Consider becoming a sponsor or renewing for 2024, if you have not already done so. If you are interested in sponsoring, click Sponsors, then click become a Sponsor or contact me.
