ABOUT THE EVENT
Future Bridge is proud to present the U.S. Industrial Microgrid & Energy Resilience Summit, taking place on March 11-12, 2026, in Phoenix, Arizona.
The U.S. Industrial Microgrid & Energy Resilience Summit brings together senior leaders and decision-makers from across U.S. manufacturing and heavy industries, with a strong focus on major energy consumers, for a two-day business networking experience.
This cross-industry summit will focus on the transformation of U.S. industrial power systems through microgrids, onsite generation, and advanced energy storage. Attendees will explore how manufacturers are deploying BESS, CHP, and hybrid systems to strengthen resilience, electrify high-temperature processes, and modernize operations. The program also highlights how industrial leaders can leverage IRA and IIJA incentives, adopt digital energy intelligence and automation, and develop Energy-as-a-Service models to finance and future-proof factory power systems.
The summit offers a unique platform for participants to exchange ideas, share real-world strategies, and establish valuable connections with peers and industry innovators. Join us for this exclusive, small-scale event designed to deliver actionable insights and meaningful networking opportunities.
