7:00 PM – 9:00 PM | Geothermal Capitol Hill Day Policy Reception (Location Forthcoming)

Join Hill Day participants at our closing reception. The fun, relaxed environment provides another opportunity for you to share updates regarding your appointments and connect with colleagues!

*Although we will make every effort to schedule all House Meetings on Tuesday and Senate Meetings on Wednesday, it is our top priority to meet with as many offices as possible while we are in DC. Delegate groups may be broken down into smaller groups if needed to accommodate Congressional scheduling requests and availability.

Participants should expect to meet with 7-12 offices over the 2-day event. Groups will include up to 5-7 people.\
