Adapting the Course: Innovation for a New Energy Era
November 4 - 6, 2026
New York City
Lead the Future of Energy at AEC 2026
Next fall, the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center at Stony Brook University
will bring the Advanced Energy Conference (AEC 2026) to New York City, a three-day summit defining the future of clean energy innovation.
For executives driving innovation, investment, and strategy, AEC 2026 is a powerful
opportunity to lead the conversation, influence direction, and connect with the people
and technologies shaping the global energy future.
Conference Theme: “Adapting the Course: Innovation for a New Energy Era”
Building on the momentum of our previous conference, “Charting the Course for Energy,” AEC 2026 will explore how the industry is adapting to a rapidly evolving landscape,
one defined by technological breakthroughs, shifting markets, and redefined climate
goals. This year’s theme underscores the need for agile leadership and innovation
to navigate the transition to a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future.
Where Innovation Meets Impact
AEC 2026 will showcase cutting-edge advancements in renewables, energy storage, grid
modernization, hydrogen, nuclear, and emerging technologies. It’s where researchers,
entrepreneurs, and established companies converge to share discoveries, explore commercialization
pathways, and forge strategic partnerships that move ideas from lab to market.
Collaboration that Drives Transformation
By uniting leaders from industry, academia, and government, AEC 2026 fosters the cross-sector
dialogue that accelerates innovation and informs policy. Attendees gain exclusive
access to decision-makers and funding opportunities - from federal programs to private
venture capital - that are fueling clean energy growth across the region and beyond.
Advancing Climate and Economic Goals
AEC 2026 is more than a conference; it’s a catalyst for sustainable progress. It highlights
regional strengths, supports workforce development, and advances practical, scalable
solutions that help achieve net-zero targets while creating jobs and strengthening
local economies.
