Clean Energy Calendar

WICE is often characterized by their semiannual conferences. Each spring and fall, membership gathers together for a full day of learning, networking and personal growth with leaders from the industry. Fall conferences are held in the downstate region and spring conferences are held in the upstate region of New York, providing access to membership statewide. Topics of past conferences covered hot issues such as Women in Power: Getting Women to the Boardroom and Leadership in Power, highlighting the NYS Reforming Energy Vision.

This year President & CEO of NYSERDA, Alicia Barton is keynote.

Commitment to Collaboration
The success of this event, and all Solar Power Events, is heavily driven by the two non-profit, membership organizations behind it. The partnership between SEPA and SEIA, through their joint ownership of the Solar Power Events, has resulted in the creation of a robust suite of business and education opportunities for the solar industry. Solar Power Events organizers and speakers will strive to create a welcoming, collaborative environment for all attendees and stakeholders. At times, debatable issues are discussed at Solar Power Events. These debates make the industry stronger and facilitate the healthy exchange of ideas in a collegial setting.
