EMPOWER 26 is bringing it home. Join us February 25–27 as we return to Boulder, Colorado—where Yes Energy began—for our full buy-out of the brand new Limelight Boulder hotel, at the foot of the majestic Flatirons.
We’re building an exciting program packed with hands-on workshops, fresh perspectives from industry leaders, and deeper dives into the tools that drive decision-making in power markets
NEW FOR 2026: We’re excited to introduce two full User Group Meeting tracks designed specifically for our EnCompass and PowerCore customers.
These dedicated tracks will feature in-depth product sessions tailored to your workflows, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and best practices, and hands-on trainings to deepen your expertise.
Whether you’re a longtime user or just getting started, this year’s event will empower you to think bigger, act faster, and connect more meaningfully than ever.
