Annual REV Conference
About
Largest Comprehensive Renewable Energy Event in the Region
For over 20 years, the REV conference is the place to gather in northern New England to collectively discuss innovations in renewable energy policy, technology, and implementation. Attendees include business leaders, policymakers, financiers, installers, facility managers, students, advocates, and concerned citizens who are dedicated to plotting the path to our 100% renewable energy future. Join us annually in October in Burlington, Vermont to network, form partnerships, and learn and leave inspired, connected, and energized to further renewable energy deployment and adoption in the region to reach our climate goals.
“Really great sessions this year. REV continues to punch well above its weight.”
“Thank you — truly wonderful job. All the more special that it was in person after the two-year pandemic. Well done.”
“The conference was excellent–I learned a lot in the panel sessions I attended, and was very gratified to see the focus on involving youth as speakers and participants. I made some good connections with other exhibitors that have been very useful to my work.”
See you at REV2023!
October 19 & 20, Burlington, VT
RECAP
REV2022 was a resounding success with over 500 registered, and a diverse line-up of 90 speakers and 20 panels. As the largest comprehensive renewable energy event in the region, panel topics covered a wide range of topics including networked geothermal, how solar power can enhance biodiversity, needed regulatory and policy reform, the importance of diversifying the renewable energy workforce, green banks, and the future of hydrogen. With many of us gathering in person for the first time since 2019, the excitement and energy were palpable.
