The Event:

Thank you for an incredible 2022 conference! We had our biggest event ever with nearly 500 attendees representing 218 companies. Mark your calendars for next year: October 9-10, 2023 at the InterContinental MSP/St. Paul Airport Hotel and check out this year's photo gallery!

The Gateway to Solar Conference, hosted by the Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA), is the Midwest's biggest and best solar and storage conference. Each year solar installers and developers, manufacturers, distributors, financiers, engineers, utilities, job trainers, trade unions, non-profits, government agencies, and more gather for quality networking, education, and fun off-site events.

Proceeds from the Gateway Conference support MnSEIA’s year-round regulatory and policy work to protect and promote the growth of Minnesota solar + storage.
