Washington, DC Meetup
There will be a Behavior, Energy and Climate Change (BECC) local community meetup at the National Press Club in downtown Washington, DC! We’ll meet for an evening of drinks, hors d’oeuvres and conversation sponsored by Oracle. This will be a joint event with Ally Program members at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and other ACEEE staff. It will be a great time to meet and network with like-minded people in companies and organizations working toward energy efficiency, renewable energy and climate change mitigation. It will also take place shortly after ACEEE’s annual Policy Forum on December 3. There is no cost to attend but please use the RSVP link to let us know if you are coming so that we can send you a code that will allow you to enter the building.
When: December 4, 2024, at 4pm-7pm (after the reception we will move to a nearby bar or restaurant for more food/beverage/conversation with whoever would like to attend)
