Oceantic Network’s annual International Partnering Forum (IPF) lands in the Big Apple in 2026! IPF is the largest marine renewable energy conference in the Americas, empowering companies to innovate and diversify into business sectors including offshore wind and solar, wave, tidal, and green hydrogen. We will explore emerging technologies like floating data centers and marine carbon dioxide removal. We will anchor on the infrastructure that makes all of it happen: ports, vessels, the grid, and transmission. At IPF, U.S. and global industry experts gather to transform the blue economy through collaboration and innovation. It’s where you make connections, grow your business, and access insider knowledge you need to navigate the changing and developing industry.

Offshore Wind Innovation Hub will be hosting The 2026 Windward Innovation Celebration. This is a networking and exhibit style event commemorating the successful completion of the 2025 Offshore Wind Innovation Hub Accelerator cohort. Presented by the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub at NYU Tandon Urban Future Lab and held alongside the 2026 International Partnering Forum hosted by Oceantic Network, the event offers an opportunity to engage directly with founders and teams developing next generation offshore wind and ocean technology solutions. Attendees will be able to explore ready to scale innovations, discuss emerging business opportunities, and build strategic partnerships with leaders advancing the offshore wind and ocean renewables sectors.

Clean energy workers are the heart and soul of the industry and keeping them safe is our top priority. Industry leaders—from headquarters to the field—will gather soon to discuss safety best practices, workforce development, and optimizing operational assets at facilities at ACP’s Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference (OMS). This conference—and these discussions—are pivotal for making the clean energy industry stronger, safer, and more efficient. ACP’s Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference will be hosted in Orlando, FL from March 4 – 6 at the Gaylord Palms Resort.

Getting projects off the ground is becoming more and more challenging. At ACP’s expanded Siting & Permitting Conference, previously known as the Siting & Environmental Compliance Conference, industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders convene to collaborate on challenges, best practices and solutions. ACP’s 2026 Siting & Permitting Conference will be hosted in Aurora, CO from March 30 – April 1 at the Gaylord Rockies.

New York has become one of the most dynamic energy markets in the United States, with tremendous opportunities in the planning, developing, financing, and construction of utility-scale onshore and offshore generation, energy storage projects, community and C&I distributed energy resources, new transmission assets, clean energy manufacturing, and decarbonization projects across multiple sectors. However, only those keeping up with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving environment will be properly positioned to seize the very best opportunities on offer in the Empire State. This meeting, like its well-regarded and well-attended predecessors in past years, is designed to let you hear the latest from a definitive group of New York policymakers, regulators, utility executives, developers, independent power producers and financiers. They will provide the best available discussion of the policies, plans, initiatives, opportunities and obstacles that will shape the Empire State’s energy landscape in 2026 and beyond. Get the latest on issues such as resource valuation changes, domestic manufacturing and labor requirements, new momentum around the role of natural gas and nuclear power, and the impacts of a coming wave of power-intensive facilities—new manufacturing, data and AI centers, bit-coin miners—on grid planning. The New York Energy Summit is your premier opportunity to network with over 400 regulators, market operators, utilities, renewable developers, and innovators from across the Empire State’s energy industry.

The 2026 Climate Solutions Summit will ignite a regional conversation around energy and power—from the physics that energize our world to the social systems that determine how we live, work, and thrive. Together, we will focus on: (1) how humans produce, distribute, and use energy, broadly defined, (2) the ethical and practical ramifications of our energy choices, and (3) the jobs and workforce development opportunities that will allow us to responsibly meet our energy needs. Over two days of conversations, workshops, and panel discussions, we’ll connect technical knowledge with human experience, bridging science, community, and creativity to shape a just, regenerative, and empowered future for the Genesee-Finger Lakes region.
