It\u2019s about shaping the next era of the HERS\u00a9 industry.\u201d \u201cIf you want to understand where the industry is headed, this is where the conversations are happening.\u201d In this episode of RESTalk, Bill Spohn sits down with Noah Kibbe from RESNET\u00ae to preview the 2026 RESNET\u00ae Conference coming to San Antonio\u2019s Riverwalk. Noah shares what goes into planning the event, from selecting the location and shaping the agenda to locking in what might be one of the most memorable receptions in conference history. Yes, at the Alamo. The conversation gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how the conference is intentionally designed to balance technical depth, networking, and community. Noah walks through the structure of the conference, including general sessions, expanded 90-minute breakout sessions, and clearly defined tracks like energy codes, building science, carbon reporting, RESNET\u00ae Quality Assurance, and RESNET\u00ae 101 for newcomers. The discussion highlights why RESNET\u00ae extended session lengths this year, putting more emphasis on Q&A, panel-style discussions, and practical takeaways that attendees can actually use when they return home. The episode also covers sponsorship opportunities, pre-conference training options, the Whova app for planning and networking, and new additions like session recordings available after the event. Noah closes by framing the conference theme, \u201cThe Next Era of the HERS\u00ae Industry,\u201d and sharing details about RESNET\u00ae\u2019s Habitat for Humanity build day, reinforcing that this event is not just about education, but also impact and giving back.
