The National Energy Storage Summit is bringing energy storage experts together across industry, government & national labs, academia, finance, and regulators to catalyze new partnerships and accelerate energy storage solutions. In addition to engagement opportunities throughout the Summit, we’re holding a raffle drawing whose prizes include once-in-a-lifetime experiences like a virtual coffee with a Nobel Prize winner, a one-on-one meeting with DOE Deputy Secretary David Turk, and a private tour of one of DOE’s prestigious national labs.
Attendees can earn points for the raffle by engaging in the specific activities listed below. After the Summit, we will hold a randomized raffle drawing. Your chances of winning increase with the number of points/tickets you accumulate!
