NABCEP has featured Scanifly 's drone-flying course at our last few annual CE Conferences, and each year the class gets more packed! We are thrilled to bring this course to our 2027 CE Conference, happening March 15 - 18 in Mobile, AL.

In other exciting news, the HeatSpring PVA class (featuring highly-acclaimed instructor Sean White Solar) will now cover material for the NABCEP OMAT Credential as well. That's three days of trainings for two different NABCEP Credentials, all in one week!

Both trainings are now available to register for on the Scanifly and HeatSpring websites (see below for all links, HeatSpring registration includes a registration for the NABCEP CE Conference).

If you were thinking of taking either course, NOW is the time to enroll! These are experiences that you can only find at the 2027 NABCEP CE Conference.

NABCEP loves to use our annual CE Conferences as a way to provide our attendees some nightly fun. After a long day of attending the most high-quality trainings offered in Solar/PV, it is the best way to wind down and network.

If you've been to any of our previous conferences, you know that we have celebrated the 1980's, "Alice In Wonderland", as well as many other cultural and festive experiences.

This year, we are celebrating the history of Mobile, AL., by honoring its title as the "Birthplace of Mardi Gras"! On Tuesday, March 16, use this opportunity to celebrate with all your friends and colleagues in renewables.

Dress up, bring some beads, and get ready to party with us down South!
