Senior leaders from T-Mobile, Michigan State, the City of Cincinnati, and Clayco will be featured keynote speakers for the Renewable Energy Forum/Summer Edition, June 6-8, 2022 at the Ponte Vedra Beach Inn & Club, Florida.

The ninth edition of this exclusive industry-leading event will once again bring together renewable energy buyers from large power users at all experience levels to explore renewable energy solutions with their peers and the industry’s premier suppliers.

“We are thrilled to return to Ponte Vedra, which Is a favorite among our community, said John Failla, Founder and CEO, Smart Energy Decisions. “The location’s beachfront setting provides a great atmosphere for networking and collaboration among buyers and suppliers, which is more crucial than ever as buyers face more pressure than ever to create and implement renewable energy strategies.”
