For those interested in speaking or receiving a discounted registration, please make note of two important Microgrid 2020 deadlines in January.
The industry’s largest gathering, Microgrid 2020 will be held June 2-3 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An additional pre-conference policy and regulatory workshop is scheduled for June 1. Tours of local microgrids will be offered June 4. This year’s theme is distributed energy and world electrification.
Speakers must apply by January 15
If you’d like to speak at Microgrid 2020, please fill out the online application no later than January 15. We seek keynote speakers, panelists, presenters, small group leaders and workshop facilitators.
The agenda will focus on microgrids, nanogrids, virtual power plants and related advanced distributed energy concepts worldwide. We’re particularly interested in themes surrounding microgrids and electrification, a well as reliability/resiliency, regulation/policy, partnerships, economics/financing and engineering, design and operation.
The Microgrid Knowledge conference typically attracts many topnotch speaker proposals. To improve your odds of being selected, here are a few tips.
- Preference will be given to vendors who bring a customer to join them on stage.
- Project presentations and case studies must be kept to 15 minutes and be presented in a ‘problem/solution’ format that offers valuable insight for the industry or its customers. (No sales pitches, please.)
- A case study is more likely to be accepted if it has not been presented elsewhere.
More details and the speakers application are available on the Microgrid 2020 Call for Speakers Page

And a reminder about the Microgrid Greater Good Award
Also mark February 15 on your calendar as the deadline to submit nominations for the Microgrid Greater Good Awards.
The awards recognize microgrids that fill a clear societal need and bolster the case that microgrids improve the human condition. Applications should demonstrate this role through a strong narrative. A panel of independent judges will consider submissions for microgrids operating in any part of the world.
Now in its second year, the award program seeks applications in four categories. One category is new for this year — an award for a microgrid that operates in the state where the conference will be held, this year Pennsylvania. The four awards are:
- Highest Recognition for a Microgrid Serving the Greater Good
- Greater Good Award for a Grid-Connected Microgrid
- Greater Good Award for a Remote Microgrid
- Local Greater Good Award (for a project in the conferences host state, this year Pennsylvania)
