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.

Oceantic Network will host a free webinar as part of its Research and Innovations series. The session will explore how the offshore wind industry is addressing wind turbine radar interference while protecting the ocean monitoring systems that are essential for marine safety, environmental data collection, and project permitting. It will introduce the Wind Turbine Radar Interference Mitigation initiative and highlight how MARACOOS and its partners are advancing practical, publicly funded solutions. Attendees will also see a live demonstration of OceansMap, a free visualization tool that integrates metocean and developer data to support more informed offshore wind planning and operations.

In this webinar, Anna Ritzen with Ventolines will review timelines, sequencing, and key logistical considerations for construction and installation of offshore components of offshore wind projects. 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.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), in collaboration with UPROSE, Equinor, NYC Economic Development Corporation, local labor unions, and workforce development partners, will be hosting an Offshore Wind and Union Apprenticeship Awareness Open House at New York’s Offshore Wind Learning Center. The event will share information on offshore wind career pathways in New York State, union career opportunities and apprenticeship programs, and ways to get involved. Registration is encouraged, and walk ins are welcome.

Windscape Brooklyn will be hosting a prep session which will introduce participants to the role of labor unions in the offshore wind industry and prepare them to successfully engage in the Offshore Wind and Union Apprenticeship Awareness Open House. The session will review the run of show for the open house, outline key unions and apprenticeship and pre apprenticeship pathways in offshore wind, and will offer guidance on making a strong first impression while networking.

Windscape Brooklyn will be hosting an Open Hours session at their Sunset Park address with a Turbine Building Workshop (first come first serve). Visitors will be able to visit the center between 10 AM and 4 PM to view its facilities as well as engage with the team. The workshop is open to all ages, but ideal for 6 to 12 years old engineers.
