Sponsorship Opportunities

The MIT Energy Initiative, Stanford ENERGY, and Texas A&M University (TAMU) Energy Institute are recruiting sponsors to support the 2023 and 2024 U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy Awards and Symposia. We hope you will join us! 

The 2023 in-person symposium is scheduled for September 27th and 28th on MIT’s campus in Cambridge, MA. With your support, this invitation-only gathering of approximately 250 people across the clean energy spectrum celebrates up to eight outstanding mid-career women for their work in: business; education & advocacy; entrepreneurship; government; international; law & finance; social, economic, & policy innovation; and technology research & innovation. C3E also honors a lifetime achievement awardee annually. You will meet and network with top women in energy at all stages in their careers, providing board service and hiring opportunities. You will hear from leading experts in clean energy and from outstanding U.S. university students showcasing their current research in a poster competition. Attendees share insights regarding new business ventures, industry best practices, successful career pathways, and the latest innovations.

The symposium also builds a strong C3E network, which includes our sponsors. We will recognize your organization at the symposium, as well as in the months leading up to, during, and after the symposium on the C3E website and at our quarterly webinars.
