Market Transformation Symposium Overview
In 2016, we celebrated 20 years of innovative thinking, collaborative action, and commitment to addressing the opportunities and challenges in market transformation. Join us as we look forward to continued success.
Market transformation is defined as "strategic interventions that attempt to cause lasting changes in the structure or function of a market, or the behavior of market participants, resulting in an increase in the adoption of energy efficient products, services, or practices."
The National Symposium on Market Transformation is the premier spring event dedicated to energy efficiency. For 20 years, the symposium has become a regular fixture for efficiency aficionados from the US and abroad. The symposium program, developed with guidance from an independent advisory committee, features leading thinkers, experts, and professionals who cover diverse and emerging topics within the scope of market transformation. The symposium program is spread over three days and is designed to provide ample opportunity to network, compare program ideas, and learn about new MT approaches.
Find out which organizations participated in the 2016 National Symposium on Market Transformation here.
Likely participants include: Policymakers; EE program implementers; local, state, federal agency personnel; utility staff; researchers; efficiency advocates; energy professionals; consultants; contractors; manufacturers; students; behavioral scientists.

MT101
Sunday, April 2, 1:00 - 5:00 pm
MT101 training will give newcomers to our industry a strong foundation for their work and a better understanding of how ratepayer funded efficiency programs can be designed to transform the market. Presenters will share market transformation case studies (both local and national), explain the importance of developing a logic model, and describe how market transformation programs are evaluated.
Attendees will walk away with a clear picture of how market transformation is defined, how efficiency programs can help diffuse innovation, and the elements that constitute a market transformation program. Participants will design a hypothetical market transformation program and gain experience in identifying market barriers and opportunities, the specific market problem(s) we want to solve, and key measureable outcomes.
MT101 is free to full conference registrants. To sign up, please choose the MT101 option when registering.
