Deep Dive Workshops (DDWs): ACEF 2019 featured a total of 22 Deep Dive Workshops on Monday 17 June, Wednesday 19 June, and Friday 21 June. Each DDW was organized by one or more ACEF partner organizations and provided participants with an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of specific topics of interest.

Knowledge Networking Sessions: This year ACEF offered participants two different knowledge networking sessions—ADB on the Ground (Wednesday 19 June) and Dim Sum with Clean Energy Entrepreneurs (Thursday 20 June).

Plenaries: ACEF 2019 comprised of three thought provoking plenaries that included keynote speakers who discussed a low carbon future, financing the pathway for clean energy and overall sustainable impact.

Thematic Track Sessions: Each track included five 90-minute sessions, each with either a series of short presentations or panel discussion followed by a facilitated Q&A session. Each track also featured a session that discussed cutting-edge innovations within the particular track topic.

These sessions were organized into five thematic tracks:

  • Energy & Livable Cities
  • Energy & Water Sustainability
  • Energy & Rural Poverty Alleviation
  • Energy & Innovative Finance
  • Clean Energy Trends & Directions
