The Midwest Energy Solutions Conference is the region’s premier energy efficiency event, connecting decision makers and innovators from utilities, businesses, the public sector and non-profits. It is the Midwest’s largest energy efficiency conference, allowing unique networking access to—and forward-thinking learning opportunities from—more than 800 of its most influential energy professionals. 

MEEA is the Midwest’s key proponent and resource for energy efficiency policy, helping to educate and advice a diverse range of stakeholders on ways to pursue a cost-effective, energy-efficient agenda. Through partnerships, programs and the Midwest Energy Solutions Conference, we curate a forward-thinking conversation to realize the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency.
