Wind-Win Startup Showdown
The third annual Wind-Win Startup Showdown offers a pitch experience like no other, spotlighting cutting-edge technology breakthroughs that are transforming the future of ocean renewables. Presented by the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub, this high-energy event convenes stakeholders across the climate landscape—fellow innovators, industry leaders, and local changemakers—for an evening of connection, collaboration, and celebration.
It’s a unique opportunity to engage with leading offshore wind innovators tackling the industry’s most complex and pressing challenges with bold, next-generation solutions.

Labor Union and Offshore Wind 101
Labor unions play a critical role in the construction of offshore wind projects. Through advocacy by unions and other worker rights organizations, many states have prioritized the use of union labor through their clean energy standards, procurements, and incentives.
This Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) webinar will explore the role of labor unions in offshore wind projects, discussing how trades and unions are involved in construction, how unions train workers for future projects, and how state governments, unions, and offshore wind developers work together to ensure projects get built with high road labor standards.

Quarterly Member Webinar: How permitting Reform Can Change the Federal Landscape
The halls of Congress are buzzing as the legislative branch gears up to tackle energy and infrastructure permitting reform with major implications for the offshore wind industry. While leaders see reform as an opportunity to legislatively set clear guardrails that depoliticize the energy sector, recent federal actions and mounting political pressure have underscored the urgency of engagement.
This member-exclusive webinar will provide an insider’s update on the state of negotiations in Congress, the specific measures Oceantic is advocating for, and how permitting reform could reshape the industry’s path forward. We will also discuss the latest developments in a state-led lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s policies toward offshore wind. Join us to understand the stakes, learn how Oceantic is defending the industry, and explore why your involvement is critical at this moment.

Learning from the Experts: Navigational Safety and Offshore Wind
In this webinar, Maureen Kallgren with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) will provide an overview of navigational safety considerations for offshore wind development and the role of USCG.
This webinar is part of the Learning from the Experts series hosted by NYSERDA’s Offshore Wind Team and featuring experts in key offshore wind topics, including wind farm technologies, development practices, regulatory processes, and research initiatives.

Offshore Wind Transmission US - 9th Annual Conference
Offshore wind is essential to achieving climate goals, decarbonizing the grid, and enhancing energy security, with robust transmission infrastructure key to its success. To advance coordinated planning that integrates offshore and onshore systems and aligns with broader grid strategies, Global Transmission Report will host its 9th Annual Offshore Wind Transmission US conference on September 25–26, 2025, at the New York Marriott Downtown. This event will unite stakeholders to tackle challenges, share solutions, and strengthen collaboration, ensuring the offshore wind sector stays on course and continues to progress despite a complex political landscape.

Offshore WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition
Hosted by the American Clean Power Association (ACP), the Offshore WINDPOWER Conference is the premier annual gathering for leaders, innovators, and stakeholders in the offshore wind industry. This event provides a platform to discuss the latest advancements, policy developments, and opportunities shaping the future of offshore wind in the United States. With the industry rapidly scaling up, the conference exists to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and ensure the successful deployment of clean, renewable offshore wind energy across the country.

ACP PEAK: Performance, Modeling & Assessment Conference
The ACP PEAK Conference is a leading event for professionals across the clean energy sector who are focused on maximizing the performance and efficiency of wind, solar, storage, and hybrid projects. Hosted by the American Clean Power Association, PEAK brings together experts in data analysis, resource modeling, and operational assessment to share the latest strategies, tools, and innovations driving project success. With sessions covering advanced forecasting, climate risk, machine learning, and technology performance, the conference offers a unique opportunity to collaborate, exchange insights, and stay at the forefront of clean energy optimization.

International Partnering Forum 2026
Oceantic Network’s annual International Partnering Forum (IPF) lands in the Big Apple in 2026! IPF is the largest marine renewable energy conference in the Americas, empowering companies to innovate and diversify into business sectors including offshore wind and solar, wave, tidal, and green hydrogen. We will explore emerging technologies like floating data centers and marine carbon dioxide removal. We will anchor on the infrastructure that makes all of it happen: ports, vessels, the grid, and transmission.
At IPF, U.S. and global industry experts gather to transform the blue economy through collaboration and innovation. It’s where you make connections, grow your business, and access insider knowledge you need to navigate the changing and developing industry.

Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference
Clean energy workers are the heart and soul of the industry and keeping them safe is our top priority. Industry leaders—from headquarters to the field—will gather soon to discuss safety best practices, workforce development, and optimizing operational assets at facilities at ACP’s Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference (OMS).
This conference—and these discussions—are pivotal for making the clean energy industry stronger, safer, and more efficient.
ACP’s Operations, Maintenance & Safety Conference will be hosted in Orlando, FL from March 4 – 6 at the Gaylord Palms Resort.

Sitting & Permitting Conference
Getting projects off the ground is becoming more and more challenging. At ACP’s expanded Siting & Permitting Conference, previously known as the Siting & Environmental Compliance Conference, industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders convene to collaborate on challenges, best practices and solutions.
ACP’s 2026 Siting & Permitting Conference will be hosted in Aurora, CO from March 30 – April 1 at the Gaylord Rockies.
