The Annual Showcase & Spring Conference is open to attendance by a wide variety of individuals, with announcements sent to representatives of businesses, organizations, public officials, members and future members of the Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc. Showcase time has been built into the conference schedule, providing exhibitors a unique opportunity to market their products and services and maximize their exposure to attendees.
As an exhibitor, you will be able to provide participants with the opportunity to learn about your organization’s role in the energy industry. In addition, your exhibit will increase general awareness regarding energy and environmental policies, legislative and regulatory priorities, and your organization’s overall goals related to the energy sector in NYS. The exhibits should be interactive, allowing you to be available to answer questions that public officials, policy makers, and private stakeholders in the energy and environmental fields will have.
The resulting marketing opportunities will be plentiful, as you interact with other organizations, consultants and power producers. The showcase will provide a unique experience for exhibitors and attendees alike as they exchange information and ideas that carry the potential to mold the landscape of New York State’s energy supply.
Increase the general awareness of the energy industry and its relationship with the environment
