Solar Power International (SPI), one of the solar energy industry’s most powerful and comprehensive educational conference and product exhibitions, will be held this October in Chicago, Illinois. We take a closer look.
More than 15,000 exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees from the solar energy world (and related fields) will come together for four days of action-packed show floor hours and five featured areas, educational sessions and workshops, general sessions and special events, and the best chance of the year to connect with colleagues and industry leaders.
SPI is where solar professionals convene each year to stay up-to-date on solar trends, innovations, and the state of the industry. With nearly 700 exhibiting companies, the industry’s most comprehensive conference programme and daily networking events, it’s an investment that promises much in return.
Plus, this isn’t your typical trade show!
SPI takes attendees out of the ordinary with engaging discussions, applicable best practices, exciting innovations, and idea-sharing with business leaders. You will see the people and products and access the information and ideas that prepare you and your company for the future of solar.
