General

RE+ is the evolution of SPI, ESI, and Smart Energy Week. Originally developed by the nation’s leading solar energy organizations to engage the business community, the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), RE+ reflects an ongoing entrepreneurial approach to renew best practices across the clean energy landscape as the marketplace evolves.

Registrationto RE+ gives you access to solar, energy storage, hydrogen, EV infrastructure, grid edge technology, and wind power education sessions and exhibiting companies, along with multiple days packed with networking events.

RE+ 24 will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center & Campus

The Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) & Campus refers to all the properties where RE+ 24 content and exhibition will be held. In addition to the ACC, the Campus includes the ACC Grand Plaza, ACC North Hall, the Anaheim Marriott, Marriott Outdoor Pavilion (in the Marriott parking lot), Hilton, and the Sheraton. View the full campus map here.

At RE+ 23, 40,000 attendees and 1,350 exhibitors participated in the largest clean energy show in North America.

RE+ is an experience, complete with education, exhibitors, and other exciting events spread out over a large area. Attendees will be able to utilize several tools to find their way around, including RE+ Connect (the official event app), interactive kiosks throughout the campus, meet-up markers, maps, and QR codes.

Over time, the renewable industry has evolved—battery costs have dropped, transportation and electrification has changed, and state-level mandates and policies are building towards a carbon neutral future. SPI stayed ahead of this collective shift and has diversified over the years to accommodate emerging trends and complimentary technologies, solidifying its place in the market as the harbinger of the greater renewable energy market. The name change reflects a commitment to providing industry-wide networking, education, and exhibition opportunities that drive a renewable energy future.

With costs continuing to decline, energy storage deployment is rapidly expanding and Energy Storage International (ESI) paves the way for greater integration between the energy storage, solar, and distributed energy markets. As the largest energy storage event in North America, ESI features 250 exhibitors and over 12,500 attendees drawn to energy storage technology and applications each year.

Our flagship event, Solar Power International, generates success for energy professionals and the global solar industry. SPI sets the standard for solar events as the fastest growing and largest energy event in North America as recognized by Trade Show Executive and Trade Show News Network. SPI has also been among the Gold 100 for over ten years running and has previously been named “Best Use of Technology” and the “Stickiest Show Floor” by Trade Show Executive for the innovative ways in which attendees stay engaged.

Attendees should come in business/business casual attire.

No infants or children under the age of 18 are allowed on the exhibit floor or in education sessions.

A professional photographer will be on site to document RE+ and all affiliate events/activities. Photographs and video footage are the sole property of RE+ Events. By registering for and/or attending this event, you consent to being recorded or photographed for press or promotional purposes without limitation or compensation. All images submitted through any show management tool or device will be considered the property of RE+ Events upon submission and can be used for press and/or promotional purposes without limitation or compensation.

RE+ Events restricts exhibitors and other companies from hosting or participating in competing or conflicting events or activities that occur during official show hours. Exhibitors violating this policy will be subject to cancellation of their booth without refund and may not be invited to participate in future exhibitions. Booth Personnel are not permitted to promote the exhibiting company outside the contracted exhibit space. All marketing must remain within the contracted exhibit space. Marketing materials may not be placed on conference tables or other areas that are not within the boundaries of the booth, both inside and outside of the exhibit hall. Show management reserves the right to remove individuals or discard display materials that do not comply with these guidelines. Please note that while RE+ Events   has a zero-tolerance policy regarding suitcasing. Any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, or in another company's booth, will be asked to leave immediately.

What is suitcasing?
Suitcasing is a business practice in which unethical companies will gain access to an event by obtaining some type of event credential (attendee badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then solicit business in the aisles or other public spaces used for the conference. This practice skirts the support of the organizer and the industry. Attendees that sell to exhibitors or other attendees within the exhibit hall, but don't purchase an exhibit to do so, are suitcasing. Typically, suitcasers approach people in the public areas of the show, such as registration and food-service areas, or aisles, and hand out brochures or other marketing collateral. This includes the hotels. This is expressly prohibited at most shows since again, these people are poaching the attendees that exhibitors have paid to see.

What can you do?
Attendees can report any observed violations to the exhibits manager, other RE+ Events  staff, or conference security. The exhibits manager will investigate all complaints of suitcasing. RE+ Events   recognizes that suitcasing may also take the form of commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room or hospitality suite, a restaurant, or any other public place in proximity to our event. For the purposes of this policy, suitcasing violations may occur at venues other than the exhibition floor and at other events. It is for this reason RE+ Events   staff must be informed of any hospitality suites and expressed consent must be given prior to the event.

UNOFFICIAL AND PREDATORY VENDORS WARNING

Buyer Beware

RE+ Events has become aware of several instances of attendees, exhibitors, and partners receiving solicitations from vendors either impersonating RE+ Events or who are unaffiliated with RE+ Events attempting to mislead consumers regarding room block reservations, the sale of attendee lists, advertising opportunities, etc…

Please exercise caution when interacting with vendors or potential offers related to RE+ 24 and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate contact person, listed below.

Attendee list scams

RE+ Events does not sell attendee lists for our events. Any offers to rent or purchase email lists related to RE+ or any of our regional or international shows are fraudulent.

Exhibitor warning

For all exhibitors at RE+ 24, we urge you to be cautious to avoid booking services through any vendor not listed as an official contractor in the Exhibitor Resource Guide. Official vendor partners of RE+ Events will never send emails from a non-business account such as Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc…

If you are approached by a non-official vendor or are unsure of a vendor’s affiliation, please reach out to [email protected] for verification and/or further information.

Predatory housing reservation offers

We have worked diligently and thoughtfully to secure hotel blocks that are within close proximity to the convention center at the lowest rates. Our goal is to include a mix of different hotel brands at a variety of prices to meet the diverse needs of our participants.  Booking through our verified vendors is the only way to guarantee the best rates and safe transactions for housing reservations at RE+ 24. Unfortunately, in the past some exhibitors and attendees have fallen prey to these companies and have either lost significant deposits or have not received the hotel rooms they originally booked. 

If you do receive a solicitation from a company claiming to have hotel block reservations for RE+ 24, please notify [email protected] so that we may take any appropriate action. Please remember, we do not sell, trade or rent any of the information we receive from our attendees, exhibitors, sponsors or partners.
