Join us September 2–4 at PNNL Discovery Hall in Richland. This is a new venue for our flagship event — and the right one. Discovery Hall sits at the heart of the national laboratory that's defining what clean energy research looks like, and bringing the Showcase inside that environment changes what's possible for the conversations we can have.
Five tracks anchor the program: Subsurface Energy and State Agencies, Energy and Grid alongside Materials, Innovation and Entrepreneurs, Working with PNNL, and Partners and Support Organizations. Each track is built around the connections that move the work forward — the partnerships, investments, and projects that shape what gets built next. PNNL lab tours run alongside the breakouts, giving attendees direct access to the facilities where the next generation of clean energy technology is being developed.
Thirteen years in, the Showcase is still where this work actually gets done. Washington leads the nation on climate policy and is dead last on clean energy deployment — and closing that gap takes the people in this room. Richland is our energy community, and the lessons we surface here move the needle statewide.
