Vision and Mission
As we stand on the brink of a pivotal clean energy transformation, the RECESS24 Clean Energy Summit aims to reshape the future of the energy industry by centering equity in its progression. Scheduled from September 9-11, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan, RECESS24 is not just a conference; it is a catalyst for transformative change. Organized by Walker-Miller Energy Services, this summit gathers key industry players to amplify a clean energy vision that inclusively benefits all, particularly those historically marginalized in the sector.
Empowering Leadership
RECESS24 provides a dynamic platform for Black and Brown leaders, and those aspiring to enter the clean energy sector, where they have been underrepresented and lacked organic connections. By focusing on empowering historically excluded and marginalized voices, RECESS24 propels the clean energy industry towards equitable change at an accelerated pace, creating opportunities for new business ventures, lucrative careers, and sustainable development.

The summit features an array of engaging and insightful activities, including keynote sessions and panel discussions led by prominent leaders in the climate and clean energy sectors. Participants will have access to impactful programming that offers practical tools, resources, and examples to advance their clean energy goals. Additionally, the summit includes interactive workshops, coffee chats with industry experts, and an innovation and opportunity exhibit where attendees can explore the latest technologies and discuss scaling clean energy initiatives.
Who Should Attend
RECESS24 invites a diverse group of attendees, including entrepreneurs, business owners, energy experts, community leaders, government officials, corporate decision-makers, and more, all united by a common goal to drive equitable change in the clean energy sector. Join us as we shape a clean energy future that leaves no one behind.
The Role of Detroit
Detroit's rich history of innovation and its significant Black and ethnic minority population make it the ideal location for RECESS24. Known as "the city that put the world on wheels," Detroit is now paving the way as a technology and innovation hub, perfectly embodying the summit's themes of equity, resilience, and innovation in clean energy. This backdrop not only enriches the conference experience but also reinforces our commitment to inclusivity and community-focused growth in the clean energy sector.
Together, we can work to shape a clean energy future that leaves no one behind.
