[Image alt text: LEAD 2026] < [link removed] > LEAD on a Clean Economy

March 17-19, 2026

Washington, D.C.

Join leading companies and investors in urging federal policymakers to prioritize market certainty and affordability as cornerstones of an advanced, clean economy. At a time when the federal government is stepping away from policies to modernize the economy and drive clean energy growth, LEAD on a Clean Economy 2026 offers a critical opportunity to make the business case directly to congressional offices and the Trump administration. This is your chance to push for the strong policy environment needed to meet rising energy demand affordably, boost American manufacturing, strengthen rural communities, and ensure U.S. leadership in the global industries of the 21st century.

This year, we're taking an approach that we believe will make our advocacy even more powerful: we're encouraging companies to bring the people whose livelihoods depend on these policies—factory workers, plant managers, farmers, and others from your operations and supply chains.
