2026 Annual R3 Conference and Innovation Expo - Save the Date!

November 17, 2026 - November 19, 2026

Description



Join us in San Antonio for the Annual Conference of the National Association of Energy Service Companies!

Annually, NAESCO gathers leaders and experts within the energy service company industry for a multi-day event to network and learn about new policies, strategies, and technologies that are shaping the industry. In-depth sessions cover the current and future landscape of the industry, and 60+ exhibitors showcase advanced technologies and solutions that deliver measurable results in ESCO projects.

R3 draws a diverse audience, including energy service companies, energy efficiency contractors, financiers, state/local/federal government representatives, law firms, and consultants. Attendees can look forward to engaging networking events and an awards ceremony recognizing exemplary projects from member companies that show the full potential of public-private partnerships.

The event is open to members and non-members.

This Event Code of Conduct establishes guidelines for participant behavior, as well as consequences for unacceptable conduct. All participants are expected to treat others with respect and consideration, adhere to venue rules, and promptly notify staff of any violations of this Event Code of Conduct, including hazardous situations, or any participant in distress.


Fostering an environment built on mutual respect and collaboration is essential for the success of NAESCO events and the well-being of all participants. Therefore, full cooperation is required in adhering to the principles outlined in this Event Code of Conduct.

 

Unacceptable Conduct

NAESCO values a safe and inclusive environment for all participants and expect everyone to adhere to these guidelines during NAESCO events. Unacceptable behavior includes:

  • Intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning speech or actions by participants at or in relation to NAESCO events. Discussion of opposing or different viewpoints is appropriate but is expected to be in a respectful tone and manner that avoids attacks.
  • Verbal or physical abuse, intimidation, or efforts to annoy others, which in any way creates a disturbance that is disruptive or dangerous or creates reasonable apprehension in a person.

Unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated at any NAESCO events. Immediate compliance is expected from anyone asked to cease such behavior. NAESCO reserves the right to take necessary and appropriate actions, including immediate removal from the event without warning or refund, in response to any incident of unacceptable behavior.


If additional action is needed, the Executive Director will investigate the allegation and determine if there is a violation. All involved parties must cooperate with the investigation.


Once the investigation is concluded, the Executive Director will write a report and share with the NAESCO Executive Committee and counsel to determine next steps, if any. 


NAESCO reserves the right to seek legal actions from those responsible for violations that caused damages or financial losses to NAESCO. All involved parties agree to waive any right to bring legal action for claims or damages against NAESCO or any person acting for NAESCO in his or her capacity in the enforcement of this Event Code of Conduct.


Reporting Conduct Violations

Conduct in violation of this NAESCO Event Code of Conduct should be promptly brought to the attention of Timothy Unruh, Executive Director, timothy.unruh@naesco.org, so appropriate action is taken.
