Insights and Innovations

In response to requests for enhanced education and connectivity, IDEA is pleased to announce a bi-weekly virtual forum/webinar series for 2021.

The Insights & Innovations series will leverage IDEA’s strength at connecting a growing global community of people and organizations seeking guidance and solutions to enhance energy security, reduce emissions and strengthen resiliency in cities, communities, clusters and campuses.

  

Your Message, Professionally Delivered

On the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month, IDEA will host a special series of webinars to showcase emerging technologies, explore best practices and engage in conversations with global industry leaders.

IDEA invites district energy industry leaders to sponsor and provide educational and informational presentations on a rotation of topics ranging from district cooling, combined heat and power (CHP) and microgrids to energy-sharing, thermal storage and optimization strategies.

If your organization works in the district energy space with valuable information and expertise you would like to share with our global community, reserving these very limited  time slots is an excellent investment.

The event will be presented live, but will also be archived on our website post-event for as long as you want, accessible to the thousands of people who visit our website every month.
