Opportunities in Energy 2026

Join us for a deep dive into the future of the energy industry, where we'll explore new opportunities and innovations shaping the landscape. The Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council will hold its annual Opportunities in Energy event on Tuesday, November 17, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. ET at the Crowne Plaza in downtown Knoxville. This all-day event invites members and stakeholders to hear about new and innovative “opportunities” in the advanced energy sector, including trends, businesses, technologies, partnerships and initiatives. At the event, TAEBC will present a state or local leader with the annual Thomas B. Ballard Advanced Energy Leadership Award. The award honors exemplary leadership and success in championing, connecting, and strengthening Tennessee’s advanced energy economy. Attendees will receive breakfast, lunch and refreshments throughout the event. A networking happy hour will follow the event programming.
