TESTIMONIALS

Attendees shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about the RTC Summit in 2023. We look forward to building on last year’s success to bring attendees an even better event in 2024.

Here’s what people are saying about past RTC Summits: 

"The attendees are what make or break these sorts of events - that was the main reason I attended the RTC Summit. The event did not disappoint: it had just the right people. I was also really impressed that the event had a very collaborative feel. This was one of the best conferences I’ve attended in a while."

"The RTC 2023 Summit had fantastic presenters, just the right amount of networking time, a balanced mix of topics, and enough time in each to get into sufficient depth without the energy dragging. If I attend just one conference next year it will be this one."

"The RTC Summit was a great opportunity to make connections with companies offering innovative solutions. It was well worth our time to listen to the wide variety of speakers and meet other industries facing similar decarbonization challenges."

"Hats off to the RTC team for an incredible Summit that is always energizing and perfectly executed. This is an event I will make time to attend every year."

"The RTC Summit offers a rare opportunity to connect in person with people who are focused on decarbonizing thermal loads. Connecting with peers about how our challenges are similar and how they are different was as useful as meeting with the various solution providers. I highly recommend the summit."

"This conference only gets better over the years, and 2023 was the best yet. The annual summit brings together a diverse mix of attendees from government, industry and the technology sectors to tackle the many challenges of industrial decarbonization. The mix of policy discussions and industry insights is unparalleled and offers the best perspective on this evolving market."

"As a solutions supplier, we got a tremendous amount of benefit from the RTC Summit. We were able to engage with customers who share the goal of decarbonizing industrial heat, and get great interactive feedback on where our solution was a good fit, where it was not, and what the market needed from our green hydrogen solution to be successful. It was also beneficial to network with other solutions providers, learn about the range of offerings in this market, and work together on the shared goal of complimentary offerings to our customers. We really appreciate the RTC bringing all these players together in a great format."

- Chris Shugart
Senior Vice President, Development

"The RTC Summit is an incredible event that gets better every year. Here are a few things that are especially well done: it is very well attended on the buyer side, including both variety and seniority of attendees; the sessions are relevant and interesting; and incorporating a high-quality dinner into the program is a great way to end the first day. I will make time to attend this annual conference over all others."

- Arun Gupta

"The RTC Summit was a great conference all around, offering a complete overview of the challenges we face with the decarbonisation of thermal energy. The summit provided high-quality speakers who covered interesting content, and it's definitely something I will be looking forward to next year."

"Best opportunity I have come across to expand my understanding of the current initiatives and leading technologies in the renewable thermal space. This event creates a supportive environment that balances expert panel discussions with smaller working groups that allows me to meet the players (corporate sponsors, governmental and regulatory specialists, technology and service providers and financiers) that are working hard to decarbonize industrial heating and cooling operations. This event and the RTC in general are truly leading the way in this critical and emerging space."

- Gregory Hallford
Vice President, National Accounts
Scale Microgrids

"The RTC Summit has great attendance and represents well the thermal decarbonization ecosystem in the US and globally. The topics selected are always well balanced, and it is a great opportunity to hear about buyers' strategies and challenges, innovative technologies, and the latest federal policies. The venue allows for great networking at breaks and dinner. If you are interested in thermal decarbonization, I definitely recommend this event."

- Patricia Provot
President, The Americas
Armstrong International

"This was an eye opening event for me as it made clear there is an emerging set of firms that can provide low or de-carbonized thermal solutions using a third party capital model. I was pleased to see the market is responding more rapidly to the thermal opportunity than I was aware of."

- Kevin Rackstraw
Senior Vice President, Client Solutions
Coho Climate Advisors

"I really enjoyed the event and thought it was very well organized. The structure was perfect: attendees had time to both catch up and hear the latest renewable thermal news while also doing proper networking, which is why my team traveled from overseas to be there. We plan to return every year."

Brenmiller Energy Ltd.

"As a student who aspires to work in renewable energy, this was an unforgettable experience. There is no better way to get to know your field than to experience it rather than learning about it in the classroom."

- Isaac Okewole

Howard University

"The RTC Summit was really high quality, with excellent networking. One of our biggest challenges is finding networking opportunities where we’re not meeting with the same set of organizations. The RTC is a great forum for collaboration with customers."

"At the RTC Summit, I was immersed in an unparalleled experience that differed from traditional conferences. The Summit provided a platform for making meaningful connections with industry leaders, while fostering a collaborative atmosphere for all. RTC members and sponsors alike were able to develop stepping stones towards meeting our shared decarbonization goals and a greener future worldwide."
