About Us
LOS ANGELES — For 18 years, the VerdeXchange Conference has brought together industry leaders across clean, green, and blue technologies — including water, advanced vehicle manufacturing, software and hardware development — as well as public policymakers, innovative financiers, and environmental stewards. This annual gathering unites key stakeholders "under one roof" to assess what’s currently in market, what’s emerging, and what’s needed to accelerate the global, multi-trillion-dollar verde economy.
Held at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, VX convenes public policy professionals and market makers to explore how collaborative efforts among cities, states, and regions are leveraging $1.1 trillion in U.S. infrastructure funding. In response to decades of underinvestment, VX aims to drive economic recovery, confront climate change, and catalyze transformational investments that will power the global clean energy economy.
