Clean Currents 2023

Sponsorship Opportunities

The National Hydropower Association (NHA) offers a variety of opportunities for your organization to support this important event and showcase your commitment to waterpower.

You can choose specific items and/or activities to sponsor that align with your marketing objectives, company priorities, and budget.

Every sponsor* receives a pre- and post-attendee list (contact information is included for those who have agreed to share). These lists are intended for contacting attendees and not for mass marketing emails.  We expect you to respect the privacy of all attendees.

*If you are only sponsoring the Celebrating Diversity Breakfast or FLOW After Party, you will only receive the attendee list for that ticketed event

Companies that are members of NHA receive a 25% discount on sponsorships.

All proceeds from sponsorships are used to support the work of NHA, the nonprofit national association dedicated exclusively to preserving and expanding clean, renewable, affordable hydropower and marine energy. Learn more about NHA’s commitment to waterpower.
