2 ABOUT THE EVENT The Leading Networking and Dealmaking Hub for the Solar Industry. The Solar Power Finance & Investment Summit is recognized as the leading gathering place for the industry s deal makers. Each year, senior-level solar and financial executives mingle in an intimate setting that provides for an efficient, in-depth, and focused networking experience. From beginning to end, the Summit offers up constant opportunities to meet key dealmakers, learn about their plans for the upcoming year, and capitalize on new prospects that will lead to successful deals.

It also provides valuable insights into the ongoing developments in the industry, highlights upcoming strategic opportunities and explores the industry s efforts to overcome pressing challenges.

Now entering its 12th year, we will return to the five star Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, an idyllic Southern California getaway featuring re-designed guestrooms and suites, expanded event spaces, an award winning spa and championship golf. Nestled among 400 lush garden acres near the beach in Carlsbad, this delightful coastal California hotel is a haven of rejuvenation, comfort and escape.
