Intersolar North America (ISNA) and Energy Storage North America (ESNA), the industry's flagship solar + storage events, announced that their newly combined conference and tradeshow is impossible to hold in person in 2021 due to the ongoing risks of COVID-19. New dates have been secured for January 13-15, 2022 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA. 

"The safety of our customers must take precedence over our desire to organize an in-person event this year," said Wes Doane, Event Director of Intersolar North America and Energy Storage North America. "With the health of all attendees our top priority-and state travel and gathering restrictions still unclear-ISNA, ESNA, and our solar + storage communities will come together this summer virtually."

To help facilitate networking and keep solar + storage professionals ahead of emerging industry trends, ISNA and ESNA will host a two-day digital summit July 14-15, 2021. Highlights will include:

• Two focus tracks (solar and energy storage), each with six unique sessions dedicated to utility-scale and customer-sited applications and successes
• Three keynote addresses by: 
  • Maria Pope, President and CEO, Portland General Electric
  • Ernesto Ciorra, Chief Innovability Officer, Enel
  • Carla Peterman, Senior VP, Strategy and Regulatory Affairs, Southern California Edison
• Multiple topic-focused networking sessions facilitated by industry-leading solutions providers and partners

Open to all industry stakeholders, students, and professionals, the digital summit offers all-access passes for $299 and the keynotes at no charge.

"A digital summit may not be what we had originally envisioned, but it is a safe, effective, and valuable connection point that will continue our industry's momentum," said Doane. "With all that's taking place in these key sectors and in Washington, we are eager to bring people together online this summer-and in person next January."
