The Energy Storage Policy Forum is the premiere event for those invested in the energy storage industry to hear from administration, congressional and state policy makers, and grid operators about their priorities for 2021, and how this will impact the energy storage industry and ESA’s advocacy priorities in the year ahead. This is a must attend event for policy and government affairs professionals, legal and regulatory counsel, sales and business development professionals, economists, communications specialists, consultants and analysts, and media.

ESA virtual conferences are much more than a simple webinar. It provides for the ability for networking, real-time  Q&A with speakers/panels, actively-moderated sessions, and discussion forums.

There will be various opportunities for networking and discussion including moderated networking session chats, opportunity for one-on-one chats, and more.

The Energy Storage Policy Forum features speakers at the administration, federal, and state level to discuss what is ahead for policy around energy storage.
