SUMMARY:ASES SOLAR 2024
DESCRIPTION:The National Solar Conference is America’s leading conference on the emerging trends\, technology\, and opportunities shaping the new energy economy. The American Solar Energy Society’s cutting-edge conference series introduces attendees to the leaders\, innovators\, and entrepreneurs moving the industry forward. With the solar energy and energy efficiency sectors changing at an unprecedented pace\, this conference helps participants understand the changes and uncover the billion-dollar opportunities. ASES supports the global energy transformation and believes a world equitably transformed to 100% renewable energy is an urgent necessity. \nSOLAR 2024: Connecting Technology and Policy will take place on May 20-23\, 2024\, at George Washington University\, Washington\, DC. Check out the exceptional lineup of keynote speakers. Contact sales for sponsorship and advertisement opportunities. \nThrough the ASES national solar conference\, “SOLAR 2024: Connecting Technology & Policy\,” we will elevate public\, institutional\, and governmental awareness of the critical role solar energy is playing in the global energy landscape. We must ensure that access to and the benefits from clean energy will be enjoyed by all communities\, especially those that have been denied those benefits in the past. SOLAR 2024 will promote ASES’ overall goal to “accelerate equitable solar adoption and universal sustainable living by educating and building community.” The conference will focus on research models\, examples\, and tools for negotiating the challenges to advancing renewables by following justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (JEDI) principles.
