Intersolar & Energy Storage North America (IESNA) has announced the acquisition of Midwest Solar Expo (MWSE). The acquisition strengthens IESNA’s commitment to providing high-quality connections, resources and knowledge to support the energy transition, both nationally and regionally. Jake Rozmaryn, former executive director of the Midwest Solar Expo, will transition to an advisory role and Sharona Kohn will continue as conference director.
“Midwest Solar Expo was created to highlight the future of the renewable energy market in the Midwest and will now be our second regional expansion following Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas, launching in Austin November 19-20, 2024,” said Wes Doane, vice president of Intersolar & Energy Storage North America. “MWSE’s platform has focused on the intersection of innovation in policy, finance, technology and business models in the Midwest, and the growing exhibit focuses on the region’s specific challenges and provides professionals with the tools they need to successfully navigate this ever-changing market.”
This acquisition builds on previous investments in the renewable energy industry by IESNA producer Diversified Communications of Portland, Maine. Since acquiring Intersolar North America in 2019, the international trade show and conference producer has expanded its Clean Energy portfolio with Energy Storage North America, the Smart Energy Decisions network, Net Zero Forum, Renewable Energy Forum, Intersolar & Energy Storage North America Texas – and now Midwest Solar Expo.
Grimes, McGovern & Associates served as exclusive advisor to Midwest Solar Expo on the transaction.
The next Midwest Solar Expo will be held June 9-11, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois.
