\u201cCREF is an ideal event to learn about what is happening in the Caribbean and to network with experienced industry and government leaders. The event stays up-to-date with sector developments that keep participants interested, engaged and looking forward to the next CREF.\u201d Alison Jean, CEO, National Utilities Regulatory Commission of Saint Lucia<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CREF, now in its 12th year, is the largest gathering of the Caribbean energy market on the annual calendar. This year we were excited to be virtual. The market is innovating, and so did we. New platform, new tools, more interaction, more solutions.<\/p>\n

CREF Virtual: How did we do it?<\/h3>\n

We started by going virtual, bringing the market together in a creative, solutions-oriented environment. We hosted three days of deep-dive discussions, Q&A\u2019s with market leaders, town hall sessions, a virtual expo hall, and experts on-demand, and, of course, opportunities for networking with the region\u2019s top influential leaders.<\/p>\n

CREF Virtual: Who will you meet?<\/h3>\n

Yes, meet! When a highly qualified group of senior market participants comes together on a powerful online platform the upshot is an opportunity to meet, greet, and forge connections. Over 500 market participants joined us this year at CREF Virtual.<\/p>\n

Aside from its size and the range of participants, here\u2019s why CREF stands out from other events:<\/h3>\n

CREF-Castalia Renewable Island Index & Project Database<\/b><\/p>\n

All attendees to CREF have access to the annual CREF-Castalia Renewable Island Index & Project Database. The Index measures the readiness of each island nation to develop and implement renewable energy projects. The Marketplace is an extraordinary detailed database of renewable projects \u2013 both distributed and utility scale \u2013 in various stages of development.<\/p>\n

NEW FOR CREF VIRTUAL: The CREF-Castalia Survey gauged the impact on the energy sector of the Covid-19 crisis, and polled for market sentiment on investment in clean energy in the new normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cCREF is an excellent opportunity to network with energy professionals, to learn and discuss trends influencing the region, and to meet the decision makers from governments and utilities across the region. Of all the renewable energy events I attend, CREF is consistently the best investment.\u201d Marc Lopata, President, Solar Island Energy<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
