JISEA Annual Meeting

The JISEA Annual Meeting (JAM) brings together energy leaders from across the country to identify and form project teams to address the evolving clean energy climate and highlight strategic directions.

A key pillar in JISEA's approach to identifying and addressing emerging clean energy challenges is network development through regular convenings. JAM is JISEA's largest convening of the year and brings together clean energy experts from across research, universities, nonprofits, and industry to share crosscutting insights. This multi-day event gives attendees the opportunity to:

The 2025 JISEA Annual Meeting (JAM25) is taking place on Feb. 25–27, 2025, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) campus in Golden, CO. Visit the event website to learn more and register. Subscribe to our email list to get the latest updates on the sessions and speakers.

In the Room

Approximately half of JAM attendees are from crosscutting and forward-looking programs at NREL and the U.S. Department of Energy, and half of attendees are from diverse demographics and disciplinary areas in industry, academic, non-profit, and government sectors. You should join us for this action-oriented conversation to define and address complex emerging challenges to clean energy transformation if you are:

  • A proactive leader or emerging leader in your field

  • Interested in clean energy problem definition and refining, solution approaches, and interpretation of outputs

  • An active participant looking for opportunities to solidify and grow your network of creative problem solvers driving toward a better energy future.

JISEA is actively seeking sponsors to support JAM and to help integrate voices from across research, universities, nonprofits, and industry. The following list provides the different levels, costs, and benefits of sponsorship:

Our sponsorship packages start at $5,000 and include prominent logo placement across key materials, such as the event agenda, tabletop tents, and presentation slides during one of the event days. Sponsors will also gain opportunities to engage with thought leaders through curated meetings on industry-relevant topics.

This sponsorship provides a unique opportunity to address attendees with brief remarks during a meal session or coffee break. These sessions and breaks are open times during the event to bring together clean energy leaders to network, share ideas, and discuss their projects. As the exclusive sponsor, your logo will be prominently displayed throughout the session, ensuring strong visibility and recognition.

As a sponsor of a reception, you will be the sole sponsor of an evening networking event. At the receptions, attendees come together to relax, strengthen connections made throughout the event, and forge new ones. Your sponsorship includes a branded exhibitor table during the reception, along with prominent logo placement on screens and signage boards, ensuring maximum visibility and engagement with participants.

Beyond the JAM25 sponsorship opportunities, JISEA can work with you to develop a customized sponsorship opportunity to foster long-term partnerships for research and collaboration with NREL and JISEA. These opportunities take various forms, including JISEA Catalyzer convenings, white papers, synthesis reports, blogs, webinars, or other co-created deliverables tailored to meet your specific goals.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities or would like to discuss a bespoke sponsorship approach, contact Nicole Simões.
