To kick off our annual Beltane weekend, Thistlerock, in partnership with CVL Energy Futures, CVL Renewable Energy Alliance, and the Community Climate Collaborative will host a gathering of the Virginia renewable energy community and welcome the Representative of the Scottish Government in the United States, Hon. Colin Gray to connect with colleagues, meet new leaders in the renewable energy sector, speak directly with policy makers, and explore regional and Transatlantic partnership opportunities. The event will feature keynote remarks from Representative Gray, as well as an expert panel discussion with senior members of the renewable energy community.

This invite-only event will also celebrate Scottish and Celtic culture with highland dancing, bagpiping, traditional Celtic music, and Scottish-inspired gastropub fare.
