FEMP has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2026 Energy Exchange. We understand this news may be disappointing. We know many of you look forward to this event each year, and this decision was not made lightly.
FEMP is committed to providing the quality training you rely on. Following the positive response to our virtual training sessions, we're excited to announce a FEMP-hosted, multi-day, virtual fall training event in early November 2026. More information will be shared soon.
The Energy Exchange, hosted by the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP), is one of the best opportunities for agencies to ensure their workforce understands leadership direction, priorities, goals, and strategies. It's also a unique opportunity to fulfill training mandates in alignment with legislative and administration workforce development objectives.
The event provides a place to network with energy and water professionals leading to development and implementation solutions that can make the federal government a leader in energy management.
At Energy Exchange, attendees can:
- Ensure their workforce understands leadership priorities, goals, and strategies.
- Meet training requirements aligned with legislative and administrative workforce development objectives.
- Network with energy and water professionals.
- Collaborate on solutions that enhance the federal government’s energy and water resilience and security.
