DERVOS 2025 ANNOUNCEMENT

It's back. It's going to be nuts. Buy tickets asap.

We are so psyched to be drafting this post. The time has come.

This year’s DERVOS is going to be more fun, intellectually engaging, inspiring, and impactful than ever. Come to NYC to hang with 750 other locked in energy pros, entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, academics, and more.

If you want to be in the arena, you need to be at DERVOS.

For this year’s event we secured a truly incredible new location on Governors Island’s Parade Ground. The main stage backdrop will overlook a Revolutionary War military fort and the Financial District skyline. Biiiig shouts to The Trust for Governors Island in helping make this happen.

As a reminder, your ticket purchase goes solely to supporting the event and community. None of us make a dollar off of this. Ticket prices have increased this year to support putting on a more ambitious show than ever.

You can expect a full day complete with:

• Incredible speakers and panels, zero pay to play

• Topics that actually matter with unrestrained hot takes

• An expanded demo day with the coolest startups in energy

• Time to hang with a seriously awesome group of peers

• A big ass party at the end

Here’s what you need to know:

• When: Oct 17, 9am-6pm (plus night time activities)

• Where: Governor’s Island, NYC

• Tickets: $400-600 for early birds (limited quantity)

We’ll also be throwing a fully solar-powered music festival on October 18th at the same location. It will be separately ticketed with details to follow, so save that date as well! Last year was incredible. Nation of Language said it was one of their favorite NYC shows they’ve ever played and we even got a shoutout from Rolling Stone.

As was the case in previous years, the final DERVOS schedule/speakers/etc. are still coming together, so we’re offering heavily discounted early bird tickets for the DERTF OGs until full details are released. Once we announce everyone involved, we’re certain it’s going to sell out quickly like it did in previous years, so buy tickets now while you can!

Have a great idea for DERVOS?

We want to hear from you! Speakers, topics, demo day participants, etc. Submit it here!

Last year’s DEROVS:

“Well, DERVOS was awesome. Most conferences (& I've been to a million) are boring AF. But at DERVOS everyone on stage all day -- and seemingly everyone in the audience! -- is doing fascinating, bleeding-edge stuff. What a great time to be DER-pilled!”
