About this Event
Welcome to the 2025 Energy Transition Forum!
Date: Thursday, November 6, 2025
Location: DCU Center - Worcester, MA
Join us for a day filled with insightful presentations, enlightening discussions, and valuable networking opportunities. Since its inception in 2022, the Energy Transition Forum has become a valued space for industry providers, developers, and representatives to come together, share expertise, and discuss the leadership and technical pathways shaping the future of the energy transition. This year, we’re bringing a refreshed agenda focused on some of the industry’s most timely topics, including:
Natural Gas Networks: Challenges and Upgrades Ahead
Winter Reliability and Resilience
Geothermal, Hydrogen, and RNG: Real Pathways or Distractions?
We are also proud to share that the forum will once again benefit the Worcester County Food Bank, an important community partner, with more than $8,000 raised to date through this event.
