Insights and Innovations

The IDEA Insights & Innovations Webinar Series was established in 2021 to give IDEA business partners greater access to a global audience of district energy professionals and an elevated platform to share valuable expertise, innovative ideas and emerging solutions.

Since its debut, nearly 20,000 district energy professionals have connected with our business partners through this groundbreaking series, creating a powerful opportunity to position themselves as an industry leader, demonstrate thought leadership, expand their visibility, and connect with an extremely engaged industry audience.

If your company has valuable insights from a recent project or an innovative solution you want to share with the world, reserve your space now and share your expertise with hundreds of district energy decision-makers, operators, engineers, utilities, campuses, cities and industry leaders.

Share your expertise, answer questions in real time, demonstrate thought leadership and expand your network—all in one highly focused 60-minute session.

You Bring the Content and Expertise – We’ll do the Rest.

IDEA makes the entire production process easy for you. In addition to promoting the webinar across our communication channels, IDEA will host and moderate the webinar, work with your team to refine the content and presentation, manage audience Q&A, and record the session. Post-event, we’ll send the recording and slide deck to all webinar registrants and upload it into the IDEA Learning Center, our unique online learning platform, where thousands of industry colleagues can view it for free. There, they also earn valuable continuing education (CE) credits.


And the value continues after the webinar concludes. As the sponsor, you’ll receive the attendee list, giving your team an opportunity to identify and follow up with organizations and individuals who may benefit from your expertise, technologies and solutions.


Simply put, IDEA Insights & Innovations webinars put your organization at the center of important industry conversations led by industry leaders like you. You choose the topic, set the agenda and bring your expertise - we’ll bring the audience and production support to make it happen. Reserve your spot today!




A History of Success

We feel confident that your participation as an Insights and Innovations sponsor will be a worthy investment of your time and efforts. But don't take our word for it, see what our first I&I webinar presenter had to say.

Here at Flexim America, we were very pleased to present the first session of the new IDEA “Insights & Innovation” Information Series.

It worked out very well for us and the team at IDEA makes it easy and seamless.  IDEA reaches such a unique and highly-qualified audience, specifically interested in our technology and best practice solutions. 

Now, with the contact information for over 500 registrants, it was like holding our own IDEA conference, from the convenience of our office.  I would highly recommend to other IDEA member organizations to book a session on IDEA’s I & I Series.
