  • Investing in Innovation to Develop Disruptive Technologies for Energy Security Leveraging Microgrids to Enhance the Air Force’s Energy Assurance

Energy resilience and security are essential to promoting the readiness of the U.S. military for joint force operations.  As the leading energy consumer across the federal government, the Department of Defense (DoD) is pursuing microgrids to enhance energy security and operational efficiency across military installations and bases.  The 2024 Microgrids and Energy Resilience Summit will address innovative approaches to microgrid development and implementation to support mission-critical operations, strengthen critical energy infrastructures, and enhance overall energy assurance.

Attendees at this year’s Summit will gain insights into recent advancements with microgrids that are designed to optimize energy use, reduce costs, and reduce risks associated with traditional energy sources for the services.  Leaders across the defense energy and power community who are shaping the future of energy resilience and sustainability with microgrids will share their priorities for driving forward microgrid implementation.  The event promises to foster an open and honest dialogue on the role of microgrids, energy storage, and renewable energy sources in protecting against both manmade and natural threats.  Join us for the unique opportunity to engage and network with leaders and decision-makers across the microgrid community to better understand the successes, challenges, and recent advancement with microgrids and distributed energy resources.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits’ content and focus areas, and we assemble the most respected minds in microgrids and energy resilience across military, academia, and industry. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.

  • Gain Education & Insight:  Walk away with knowledge gained from our senior level speakers on some of the complex challenges facing the community.
  • Build Partnerships: The agenda is designed to allow for ample networking opportunities and the ability to engage in constructive dialogue among all in attendance.
  • Influence: Help foster ideas! Share your own insight and knowledge during our interactive sessions. All attendees are encouraged to address our speaker faculty and each other with their questions, comments, or ideas.

DSI’s Summit directly supports DoD and Government priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department’s mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time.

DSI’s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.

(Industry and academia members are charged a fee for admission)

Summit is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS
