What Infocast does

Infocast is a US-based, privately held conference and event management company that organizes industry-specific deal-making conferences, with a primary focus on clean energy, power infrastructure, and project finance. The company operates a portfolio of nine branded events including the Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit, Projects & Money, the Texas Clean Energy Summit, the Midcontinent Clean Energy Summit, the ERCOT Market Summit, Mountain West Renewables, Southeast Renewable Energy, and two PowerUp Data Centers tracks covering infrastructure and investment. Its flagship events routinely attract 220 to 3,900+ senior executives, 200+ speakers, and 230+ sponsors/exhibitors, and are held in Austin, Indianapolis, Phoenix, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, and McLean, with headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The underlying technology stack is an event management platform and conference organization system supporting in-person summits, virtual attendance components, and online event community networking. Registration, sponsorship, and speaker pipelines run through Infocast's website (infocastinc.com) and supporting portal infrastructure; speakers are curated through formal nomination and application processes, and sponsors access advanced attendee lists, topic input, and multi-event commitments through a tiered Partner Sponsor program.

The business model is a hybrid of conference registration fees (with early-bird, group, and special-segment discounts) and event sponsorship packages. Primary customers are renewable energy developers and independent power producers (IPPs), financiers and infrastructure investors, utilities and grid operators, corporate energy buyers including data center operators, policymakers and regulators, and specialized law firms and consultants. Infocast was founded in 1989 and has been producing premier deal-making events for more than 35 years; it was acquired by Clarion Events in 2024 and operates as a subsidiary under that diversified events conglomerate.

Direct peers

• BloombergNEF (BNEF): Operates the BNEF Summit and other invite-style energy finance and clean energy forums. Direct comparable for Infocast's energy finance events given similar institutional investor and corporate buyer audience.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights: Operates CERAWeek and a portfolio of global energy conferences and events that convene energy executives, financiers, and policymakers. Direct overlap with Infocast's energy deal-making summits in both audience and content.
• American Clean Power Association (ACP): Industry association running large wind, solar, and storage conferences (e.g., CLEANPOWER and ACP conferences). Comparable as a convener of renewable developers, financiers, and policymakers for U.S. clean energy deal-making.
• GreenBiz: Produces business-focused clean energy and sustainability events such as GreenBiz Summit. Comparable to Infocast's clean energy summits in B2B orientation and corporate buyer / financier audience.
• Wood Mackenzie: Global energy research and consultancy that produces industry events and summits across power, renewables, and project finance. Comparable in combining market intelligence with senior-executive convening in the energy verticals Infocast serves.
• EnerCom: Runs The Oil & Gas Conference and energy infrastructure investment forums connecting E&Ps, midstream, and capital providers. Closely comparable to Infocast's deal-making, finance-focused event model.
• Reuters Events: Runs a portfolio of large B2B conferences spanning energy, finance, and supply chain. Overlaps with Infocast in producing executive-level industry summits targeting senior decision-makers.
• Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA): Hosts SolarPower and other major U.S. solar industry events that bring together developers, utilities, financiers, and policymakers. Directly competes for solar deal-making audience that Infocast's Solar + Wind Finance & Investment Summit targets.

Broad incumbents

• Informa Connect: Events division of Informa running large B2B conferences across finance, energy, and technology. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the professional conference space but not specialized in U.S. renewable energy deal-making.
• Clarion Events: Infocast's parent company and a global diversified events organizer running major energy brands including POWER-GEN and DISTRIBUTECH. Overlaps with Infocast in the energy events category but operates at much larger scale across multiple industries.
