Join us in Seattle for the 2026 Northwest SEM Collaborative Fall Workshop, a full day dedicated to connection, collaboration, and the future of Strategic Energy Management (SEM).

This annual gathering brings together utility representatives, program administrators, SEM practitioners, engineers, consultants, researchers, and industry partners from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Attendees will have opportunities to network with peers, learn about emerging trends and innovations in SEM, and participate in engaging discussions about the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry today and into the future.

Whether you are new to SEM or a seasoned practitioner, the Fall Workshop offers a welcoming environment to share experiences, exchange ideas, and strengthen the relationships that advance SEM across North America.

The day will include breakfast, interactive content sessions, networking opportunities, and a post-event happy hour sponsored by Energy 350.
