Opening Reception
Opening Reception at The Sugar Mill | Monday, May 22, 5pm – 7pm
Follow the energy of the conference grand opening to The Sugar Mill, located across the street from the convention center, to celebrate a decade of opportunity. The opening reception showcased local musicians, food, beads, and New Orleans spirit.
The opening reception was sponsored by Avangrid.
Private Group Tour: Port Fourchon
At the end of the conference, a private group was able to tour Port Fourchon, which is known as the premier port facility supporting oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, Fourchon is headed toward a role as a leading service supply port for all forms of offshore energy, including wind energy. The site is primed to help service the burgeoning offshore wind marketplace in the Gulf of Mexico.
Cajun Swamp Airboat Tour

Power Networking
Power Networking
This networking opportunity exceeded our expectations and sold out before the event began! All attendees had the opportunity to chat with potential business providers, and set up a 10-minute meeting during this two-hour time block.
The goal of this session was to allow clean energy professionals the chance to gain business prospects or cultivate existing relationships during a facilitated matchmaking event.
Forever New Orleans Tour
A private tour of the French Quarter, Lakeview, & Uptown neighborhoods. | Thursday, May 25 2pm – 5pm
Our story began in the area where the French founded New Orleans almost 300 years ago: the historic and charming French Quarter. Attendees saw famous landmarks and learned the fascinating history behind the unique city. Attendees saw City Park & Bayou St. John and travelled along St. Charles Avenue as well.
As our story ends, we realized that this incredible city is one of spirit, hope, and rebirth!

200 people participated in a 5K jog or walk around the French Quarter.
