2026 Annual R3 Conference and Innovation Expo

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.
