Organized by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1996, REM™ remains the leading forum for the clean energy marketplace. It is the only conference of its kind focusing on national and international markets for renewable energy, attracting participants from around the globe who share an interest in—and commitment to—growing markets for clean energy.

As a sponsor, you will receive brand marketing coverage in print, electronic, and social media. In 2023 the conference website was seen by over 267,000 unique visitors, with heavy media attention directed towards the programming and annual Green Power Leadership Awards, which are held during the conference.
