The Event:

Thank you for an amazing 2023 Gateway to Solar Conference! Our 10th annual event was our biggest conference yet with over 575 attendees from 290 companies. View the list of 2023 attendees here. See you next year on October 8-9, 2024 at the InterContinental MSP/St. Paul Airport Hotel!

The Gateway to Solar Conference, hosted by the Minnesota Solar Energy Industries Association (MnSEIA), is the Midwest's biggest and best solar + 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.

Meet industry professionals from across the state and country, hear from state officials, regulators, and legislators, and gain in-depth insight into Minnesota's booming market and where it's headed during this exciting two-day conference.

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