Energy Trust of Oregon’s 2026 Business Lighting Trade Ally Seminars are right around the corner. If you haven’t signed up yet, we hope you’ll join us. These sessions are designed to bring our Business Lighting community together, share practical insights, and highlight tools and resources that support your work.

Seminars are free and include breakfast – with plenty of bacon – and parking at each location. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., and the program starts at 8:30 a.m. We’ll be meeting in Medford, Bend, and Portland. You’ll have time to connect with peers, hear what we’re focusing on this year, and see demonstrations of new lighting systems.

We will cover the following topics:

• Energy Trust lighting program updates
• Hands-on NLC training and removing customer barriers to LLLC
• Building Performance Standards overview by the Oregon Department of Energy
• Smart thermostat technology overview and how Energy Trust incentives help with project ROI
• There will also be plenty of time for networking and visiting vendors throughout the session
