Get It on the Books

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.

Connect with energy experts and tune into 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.

Staying in Boulder

**UPDATE 1/22/26**
Our buy-out room block at the Limelight may be sold out for specific nights the week of the event, but do check back as people may cancel reservations as their plans change.

Consider booking a room at the Moxy Hotel in Boulder, which is right across the street from the Limelight. There are also several other hotel options within easy walking distance of the event, including Basecamp Boulder and the St. Julien Hotel.
