Energize SoCal 2026: The Inland Empire's Clean Energy Summit

Energize SoCal 2026: The Inland Empire's Clean Energy Summit

The people building Southern California's energy future, in one room with you. Now in its third year, Energize SoCal is where the Chino Valley business community connects directly with the utilities, innovators, educators, and policymakers shaping how our region powers itself. You'll leave with practical programs, incentives, and connections you can use to move your business toward clean energy, straight from the people who run them.

Three all-new panels for 2026:

Powering the Workforce. Building SoCal's energy talent pipeline: how the region trains, recruits, and retains the workforce the energy transition demands, from community college programs to apprenticeships and employer partnerships.

Beyond the Grid: Energy Diversification. Hydrogen, microgrids, and next-generation storage. How Southern California is diversifying the way it generates, stores, and delivers power, and where the opportunities are for local business.

The New Machines: AI and Automation. AI's energy demand, automation, self-driving vehicles, and electric fleets. What the newest technology means for the grid, for energy costs, and for the future of every business in the region.

The afternoon includes a networking lunch with sponsors, speakers, and regional leaders, plus a dedicated break to meet the panelists one-on-one. Speaker lineup to be announced. Check back as panelists are confirmed.

Sponsorships start at $500, and top-tier sponsors receive a speaking opportunity on the program. Contact Zeb Welborn at zwelborn@chinovalleychamber.com or (909) 627-6177.
