Heading to Las Vegas for RE+ 2025? This episode is your ultimate field guide.
We’ve got the inside scoop from SunCast host Nico Johnson and some of the industry leaders shaping this year’s event—from Abby Hopper’s optimistic industry outlook to Jigar Shah’s no-nonsense advice for finding your tribe in the midst of uncertainty. You’ll also hear from RE+ content architect Kathy Schott, social media guide Derek Mast, sales pro Ethan Ehlers, and Daily Morning Show co-host Lisa Ann Pinkerton as they break down how to navigate the largest clean energy show in North America.
This episode will help you make the most of your time on—and off—the show floor whether a first-time visitor or a returning veteran.
Expect to Learn:
🔹 The mindset shift leaders like Hopper and Shah want you to embrace post-OB3
🔹 What’s included in the Full Conference Pass (spoiler: it’s worth it this year)
🔹 The best networking spots and new layout features like the RE+ Bridge
🔹 And how the new RE+ app will [almost] literally walk you to your destination
RE+ isn’t just a tradeshow—it’s a moment of reconnection, recalibration, and reinvention. Don’t go in blind. Listen now and show up ready.
See you under the bright lights! And do come see us at the PowerUp Live Stage!
