Please note that travel priority to attend this year’s event will be given to DOE and National Laboratory attendees who have been invited to be speakers, moderators or have been identified as requiring critical training. This may result in a request to individuals who have registered but not received an invitation to alter their registration or travel reservations. The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and the DOE Sustainability Performance Office (SPO) will continually monitor the registration lists to ensure access to the event for all DOE program offices and that travel quotas are not exceeded. Additional details will be released to DOE staff on attending Energy Exchange. If you are interested in attending but unsure if or when you should register, please contact FEMP_Training@EE.DOE.Gov for more information.

IMPORTANT HOTEL BOOKING INFORMATION
All reservation requests prior to February 28, 2024, must be booked through this website. Hotels cannot take direct reservations from Energy Exchange attendees until AFTER early March. Please do not contact the individual hotels to book your room reservations, as they will re-direct you back to our Housing Manager at housing@energy-exchange.com.
For Government/Military Sector attendees, the published room rates are already set at the 2024 federal per diem allowance, which is $136 for Pittsburgh. For attendees in the Industry/Private Sector, discounted group rates at each hotel have been negotiated.
After booking your reservation(s) on this site, you will receive an email with a Reservation Acknowledgement number. The hotel confirmation number will be emailed to you directly by the hotel in early-to-mid March. Please do not call the hotel directly to confirm your reservation, as reservation data is not sent to the hotels until after the February 28, 2024, deadline.
An organization’s reservation coordinator can reserve up to 10 rooms. If your group needs 11+ rooms, please contact our Housing Manager at housing@energy-exchange.com to set up a special sub-block with a direct booking link for your group’s attendees. Note: cancellation fees may apply to unused rooms.
HOTEL RESERVATION SUPPORT
For questions regarding Energy Exchange hotel reservations, or to set up a sub-block commitment for your organization (11+ rooms), please contact our Housing Manager directly at housing@energy-exchange.com.
