OVERVIEW:
The NECA Renewable Energy Conference returns in person for the first time since March 2020, at the Waltham Woods Conference Center. As the industry experiences exponential growth and challenges and we look to the region’s 2030 climate change goals and beyond, join us for a day of in-depth conversations with experts about the real dilemmas and the possible solutions to meeting those goals.

In addition, we will offer multiple opportunities for meaningful networking.
