Beginning with the 2024 Summer Study, requests for Informal Sessions will go through a review process before being accepted. Please complete the form below and submit before the June 14 deadline.

A committee comprised of ACEEE staff and the SSB Co-Chairs will review the requests to determine which best meet the primary goals and purpose of the informal sessions including:
  • Provide an open forum to meet and follow up on issues raised during a formal presentation.
  • Facilitate discussions on other topics of mutual interest to attendees.
*Advertising, product demonstrations, or marketing by companies or organizations is strictly prohibited.

By July 12, all applicants will be notified whether their application was accepted and if the reviewers have any suggestions for edits. More information will be sent to those who are accepted.

Note: Applicants must be a full-week registered attendee to host or facilitate an informal session. Because of space limitations, only one submission per registrant will be accepted.
Please complete all of the sections below to be considered for an Informal Session slot on the Summer Study program. The informal sessions will be scheduled on Monday (8/5), Tuesday (8/6), and Thursday (8/8) afternoons beginning at 2:00 pm.
