SUMMARY:CUB Energy Policy Conference: Harnessing Local Energy
DESCRIPTION:In just the last few years\, Oregon’s energy landscape has seen many big\, new challenges. We’ve seen hyperscaled energy demand from data centers\, cuts to federal support for customers and utilities\, large rate increases\, and record household disconnections. With all of these hurdles\, attention is increasingly turning to what we can do close to home to address both our energy needs and the human impacts of our industry. In a world with increasingly globalized energy\, we need to start to think more locally for solutions. \nTo create the energy system all Oregonians deserve\, we need to work together. All customers\, from big industry to households\, need to be the best neighbors we can be for everyone else on our energy systems. How can we reimagine local support systems in the face of federal cuts to energy programs? How can large load energy users create benefits for local communities and the grid? How can we leverage efficiency and flexibility as a tool for affordable energy? What role do local policies have in meeting state emissions reduction goals? And what does the changing ownership in our utilities do for our grid and our communities? \nRegister: oregoncub.org/conference \n

SUMMARY:Washington State 2026 Solar Summit: Solar\, Now More Than Ever
DESCRIPTION:Since 2015\, Solar Washington’s Solar Summit has been the must-attend conference for anyone engaged in solar deployment\, education\, and advocacy in Washington state. Each year\, it brings together the full spectrum of the solar community — manufacturers\, distributors\, engineers\, consultants\, and installers; representatives from utilities\, municipalities\, and tribes; legislators and policymakers; nonprofits\, educators\, and students; advocacy organizations\, financial lenders\, and homeowners — for a day of candid conversation on the issues shaping solar’s future in Washington. \nThis year’s theme\, Solar\, Now More Than Ever\, digs into the challenges and opportunities ahead as shifting state and federal budgets\, evolving policy\, market dynamics\, and new technology reshape the landscape. Through a keynote\, panel discussions\, and networking\, the Solar Summit brings together experts\, innovators\, and collaborators to talk strategy for resilience and growth — and to walk away with real insight into the trends\, policy shifts\, financing models\, and technological breakthroughs driving solar adoption forward\, uncertainty and all. \nThe 2026 Solar Summit will be held on October 9 at South Seattle Community College. \nSolar Washington believes that knowledge and community are a powerful combination for change. Solar Washington endeavors to provide trusted\, well-researched content and comprehensive\, thoughtful perspectives\, to nurture a transition to a more sustainable world. Solar Washington’s mission is to promote the sustainable development and equitable use of solar energy and its contribution to the economic\, environmental and social fabric of Washington State through education and community involvement. \nSolar Washington promotes: \n\nClean energy to support resilient and sustainable communities in Washington\nConsumers making sound and informed decisions about solar\nAn inclusive approach and access to research\, development and new technologies\nThe sharing of information\, examples\, and best practices to support a thriving industry\nA well-trained and diverse workforce providing fair services and product\n\nRegister: https://givebutter.com/solarsummit2026

SUMMARY:Smart Buildings Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join the Smart Buildings Center for the 2026 Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) to be held in downtown Seattle on November 9-10\, 2026! The conference theme\, “Accelerating Performance at the Speed of Innovation\,” reflects both the urgency of the moment and the opportunity in front of us. As technologies advance and pressures on the built environment intensify\, buildings are being asked to do more: reduce costs\, improve resilience\, respond to grid needs\, support occupant outcomes\, and deliver stronger performance in an increasingly complex operating environment. SBX 2026 will create space not just for inspiration\, but for debate\, problem-solving\, and clearer pathways to action. \nSBX 2026 brings together building owners\, operators\, engineers\, technology providers\, utilities\, policymakers\, and energy professionals for two days of high‑impact discussion\, debate\, and collaboration to address one critical question: what will it take to move smart buildings from promising projects to genuine\, repeatable scale? \nAcross keynotes\, panels\, workshops\, and networking events\, participants will explore the practical barriers and opportunities that matter most right now—financing structures\, policy alignment\, AI-driven operations\, and what it will take to make smart buildings the norm rather than the exception. Join the leaders helping shape the next generation of smarter\, more resilient\, and more efficient buildings. \nRegister here.
