Energy: Power, People & Place

Bringing together leaders, policymakers, cooperatives, and energy innovators, the 2026 Hawaii Energy Conference will discuss pathways to resilience and sustainability using firm power, while incorporating the lessons learned from successful indigenous projects.

From geothermal in Hawaii to energy projects on tribal lands and cooperative models across the U.S. and New Zealand, participants will share experiences and strategies for advancing energy solutions while maintaining harmony with local landscapes and traditions.

Join your colleagues in industry, academia, and the national labs for the latest developments in marine energy. Whether you're focused on research, technology, policy, or elsewhere, you'll find plenty of discussion and networking to keep you energized and inspired.

More information will be coming soon, but for now please save the date. Cheers to community—we can't wait to see you all again in August!
