Hydrogen Mountain Retreat 2026 Returns to Boulder, October 27–29
We're excited to share the dates for the 2026 Hydrogen Mountain Retreat (HMR) — our invitation-only gathering designed to generate deals, innovation, partnerships, and unique insights, underpinned by the leading hydrogen market data systems for North America and global trade flows. We look forward to hosting you in Boulder, Colorado, on October 27–29, 2026, and ask you to save these dates on your calendar.
Home to the Hydrogen Data Consortium, this annual SEP private event convenes Consortium members alongside a select group of invited guests, including industrial and mobility end-users, port authorities, finance sources, a startup cohort, sector thought leaders, and a limited number of sponsors. The event is capped at 100 people to drive deep relationships.
Location
We're returning to the historic Colorado Chautauqua campus in Boulder — a scenic setting at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and the perfect time of year to take in Colorado's fall colors.

What to Expect
HMR 2026 begins with an optional tour of the National Laboratory of the Rockies' Foothills and Golden campuses, followed by a welcome reception and trade flows dinner on Tuesday evening, October 27.
The event concludes at midday on Thursday, October 29, following a day-and-a-half of packed activities: a connecting-the-dots session, topical panels, tasty meals, an after-party, powerful keynotes, a timely-topic workshop, an early morning hike, and market updates from regional, national, and international organizations.
All sessions — excluding podcast interviews — will be held under the Chatham House Rule to encourage open dialogue. Attendees will also have the opportunity to review updates to SEP's market data systems and offer input on their next stages of development.
We can't wait to welcome you back to Boulder this fall.
