RECESS stands for Resilience and Equity in the Clean Energy Sector Summit. RECESS is a place where everyone can come as they are. We welcome people from all backgrounds, while intentionally creating access and opportunity for Black, Indigenous, Brown, and other historically underrepresented communities as we build a bigger, more welcoming table, together.
Our flagship event is designed to catalyze life-changing momentum that lives through economic empowerment, advocacy, education, innovation, development, and creation.
