2024 ENERGY STAR Products Partner Meeting

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is pleased to announce that planning is underway for the 2024 ENERGY STAR Products Partner Meeting. The meeting will take place Tuesday, September 17 – Thursday, September 19, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

The three-day meeting will feature informational sessions, a product Expo and networking opportunities with a broad range of attendees -- everything you need to position your programs and products for success in the transition towards an efficient, clean energy future. 

The meeting is open to all ENERGY STAR partners and stakeholders. This year’s ENERGY STAR Products Partner Meeting will:

• Strive to help State Energy Offices implement Inflation Reduction Act rebate programs featuring ENERGY STAR products. Session content will be tailored to helping states address program design and implementation challenges and will feature resources that can be leveraged to reduce implementation burden. 
• Support efficiency program sponsors and their implementers in efforts to optimize their programs in a changing landscape, with an emphasis on efficient decarbonization and equity. 
• Offer product manufacturers and retailers critical access to the latest intelligence on evolving utility program designs and priorities, as well as emerging state rebate programs.  The meeting will feature everything and everyone you need to know to capitalize on the suite of available financial incentives to sell more energy efficient products.

Please mark your calendars and reserve the dates. Updated information will be posted as it becomes available.  In the meantime, If you are interested in learning more or if you have questions, please contact partnermeeting@energystar.gov.
