About Energy Reinvented Community (ERC)
Energy Reinvented Community (ERC) is a collaborative platform that connects a wide range of stakeholders across the energy industry. Our mission is to inspire dialogue, ignite innovation, and enable cross-sector and cross-border partnerships that accelerate the energy transition.

Each year, ERC hosts several events: a kick-off event in January to announce the annual theme, two main events exploring subthemes, and additional side events and site visits in collaboration with partners. The ERC Board works closely with an independent project manager and an independent communications advisor to maintain and strengthen engagement within our growing community. Our communications aim to:

• Share the value of the ERC platform,
• Deepen member engagement,
• Grow membership, and
• Increase both the quantity and quality of event participation.

In recent years, ERC has built a strong communications foundation aligned with its vision, mission, and ambitions. We communicate year-round — particularly around our events — through our website, newsletters, and LinkedIn.
