The Pacific Offshore Wind Summit brings together state officials, industry leaders, and other stakeholders to mobilize support and build momentum for California to meet its ambitious planning goals to generate up to 5 gigawatts (GW) from offshore wind by 2030 and a nation-leading 25 GW by 2045.
Being a Pacific Offshore Wind Summit Sponsor offers an opportunity to highlight your role as an industry leader and raise your organization's visibility among Summit attendees.
The Pacific Offshore Wind Summit is an ideal location for us to gather and talk about all of the latest policy, legislative, and technology developments, and encourage greater collaboration and innovation among key stakeholders of the offshore wind industry in California.
A limited number of press passes are available for members of the news media to attend the Pacific Offshore Wind Summit 2026. If you are interested in receiving a complimentary press pass, please send your request to the Summit Event Team for consideration.
