Energy Exchange

The Energy Exchange is one of the best opportunities for agencies to ensure their energy workforce understands leadership directions, priorities, goals, and strategies. It’s also a unique opportunity to fulfill training mandates in alignment with legislative and administration workforce development objectives. The event provides a place to network with energy and water professionals leading to development and implementation of solutions that can make the federal government a leader in federal energy and water efficiency, security, and mission assurance.
