REV is seeking panel, speaker, and topic proposals for the 2025 REV Conference breakout sessions. You do not need to have a complete panel with confirmed speakers to apply. It is more useful that we receive your idea by the deadline rather than waiting for the application to be “complete.” We also welcome submissions for speakers that include an explanation of what they could speak on and how they could add to a larger breakout session conversation. Breakout sessions are one hour long and typically consist of three to four speakers and a moderator. The exact format of the session is at the discretion of the speakers and moderator. Submissions that bring first-time REV Conference presenters are encouraged.
REV is committed to supporting a diverse workforce and uplifting diverse voices and perspectives in the industry. As such, all sessions at REV2025 will feature gender and racially diverse voices, and panels will not be considered if they do not meet these criteria. We will only reach a sustainable, inclusive 100% renewable energy future by creating space for all voices.
Submission Deadline: Friday, May 9 at 8:00am
For more information on submitting a proposal: email Jess Turner at jess@revermont.org
