Since 2011, when Xcel Energy launched the event then known as "Face Plant," this gathering has become a cornerstone for energy professionals. The North American Energy Markets Association (NAEMA) is proud to continue this legacy with NAEMA's East Meets West 2025, hosted by Xcel Energy at the Hythe in Vail, Colorado.
Set in the iconic mountain town of Vail, this year’s event combines industry insights with the unique backdrop of a community rich in history and alpine culture. Founded in 1962, Vail was established by World War II veterans from the 10th Mountain Division who trained in the nearby mountains. Drawn by the area’s pristine slopes and scenic beauty, they transformed it into a premier ski destination that would grow into one of North America’s largest ski resorts. Over the decades, Vail has retained its spirit of adventure while expanding to include world-class dining, shopping, and year-round outdoor activities.
The Hythe, a luxury resort inspired by Vail’s skiing legacy, offers an ideal venue with mountain views, après-ski lounges, and an adventure concierge ready to guide guests through the area’s rich landscape. Join NAEMA members and industry leaders from across the U.S. and Canada in Vail to advance NAEMA's mission of fostering a dynamic and thriving energy marketplace...
