Imperial Valley Energy Summit
Addressing the future of renewable energy industries in California for over a decade
The Imperial Valley Renewable Energy Summit (IVRES), and now Imperial Valley Energy Summit (IVES), began in 2008 as a conference to bring attention to renewable energy potential in the Impeiral Valley and its surrounding areas of Southern Calfirornia. Since the first IVRES, the Summit became an annual conference for our region, with new topics in energy, water, agriculture, and tecnology each year. Over the years, IVES has grown to be a significant meeting for the region's ever-growing industries.
