NCSEA's Making Energy NetWork Roundtables are a ​new ​series of ​informal, statewide ​​gatherings hosted every other month by NCSEA & our business partners/members. Unique in nature but united in purpose, the event series is designed to provide​ NCSEA members, energy consumers, and industry thought leaders​ an opportunity to regularly convene and engage in two-way dialogue on specific clean energy issues​ happening in our state​.​ ​​The roundtables are also another opportunity to reach out to our individual communities, engaging potential members and other stakeholders​ around​ NCSEA’s mission and membership value​​. ​While the subject matter will vary per event, the agenda​s​ for ​all events will include time for networking and discussion​, which is open to all attendees​.


The roundtables can be conducted as breakfast, lunch, or evening event​s​. Event sponsorship offers many benefits and is encouraged.​ ​Have a suggestion for a future Making Energy NetWork event? ​Please contact christy@energync.org with ​topic suggestions ​and hosting or sponsorship inquiries.
