A Sharper, 13-Session Program Built to Address Project-Critical Topics
New for 2027, IESNA Flagship’s educational program expands to serve a growing base of commercial & industrial (C&I) and utility-scale professionals, alongside the residential community that has long been core to the show.
Shaped by attendee feedback and developed with input from our 2027 Advisory Board, the program offers the same peer-driven, practitioner-led learning the event is known for—built for a fuller picture of the market and offering greater interaction and depth among EPCs, installers, and developers.
The goal is to deliver a focused program that allows attendees to explore topics in greater depth and continue conversations in the moment.
Education Overview
- 13 Conference sessions
- 2 Half-day workshops
- 3 Round tables
- 2 Keynote presentations
- 2 Networking luncheons

More Ways to Learn & Connect
The 2027 educational program offers several new formats to give attendees more flexibility in how they learn and more opportunities to connect and work through shared challenges with other practitioners.
Workshops:
Technical Training
Half-day, hands-on workshops from NABCEP and more offer Continuing Education credits—and now take place across multiple days rather than before the event officially opens.
Round Tables:
Real Talk, Real Solutions
Roundtables tackle the pressing operational and business challenges head-on—from supply chain and policy shifts to financing and market access—offering practical, real-world strategies.
Braindate:
Networking by Topic
Post topics, find your people, and book 1:1 or group conversations—turning the expertise in the room into some of the most valuable networking at the event.
