Leading industry brands united to deliver insight, innovation, and expertise across geothermal energy.

Our Show Producers

Ground2Grid is produced by The Driller, a BNP Media publication. BNP Media is a leader in professional media and events serving the built environment, manufacturing, and energy sectors. With decades of experience creating industry-leading conferences and publications, BNP brings together trusted expertise, cross-sector collaboration, and a commitment to advancing sustainable innovation.

The Ground2Grid Thermal Energy Summit was created to fill a gap — a place where the people who design, finance, build, and operate Thermal Energy Resources can meet face-to-face, share knowledge, and shape the path to carbon-neutral infrastructure. Every detail of this event reflects that mission: to connect the industry’s thinkers and doers in a space built for collaboration and real-world impact.

Supported by BNP Media Brands

Ground2Grid is produced by The Driller and BNP Events, with the added strength of two BNP Media sister brands that collectively cover the full Thermal Energy Resources lifecycle – Engineering News-Record (ENR) and The ACHR NEWS. Each brand connects with a distinct segment of the market, creating a clear line of sight from resource development to end use.

The Driller audience focuses on discovering and developing thermal energy resources at the source. ENR reaches the engineers and construction leaders who design and build the pipelines and infrastructure that move that energy where it needs to go. The NEWS engages the contractors and system professionals who convert thermal energy into practical heating and cooling solutions within buildings.

Together, these brands reflect how the industry actually operates, linking exploration, infrastructure, and application. Ground2Grid brings that progression into one coordinated platform, providing comprehensive coverage and advancing the Thermal Energy Resources market with a unified, cross-sector perspective.

The ACHR NEWS

The ACHR NEWS is a long-standing, trusted source for HVACR contractors and the broader mechanical systems community. Published by BNP Media, it covers residential and commercial contracting, equipment, refrigerants, regulations, and the market forces driving building decarbonization.

For Ground2Grid, ACHR helps extend the conversation to the professionals responsible for installing, operating, and maintaining the systems that make thermal networks real in the built environment.

Engineering News-Record (ENR)

ENR is one of the construction industry’s most recognized publications, covering projects, firms, and the people who deliver the built world. As a BNP Media brand, ENR brings reach and credibility with owners, engineers, contractors, and infrastructure leaders who influence procurement, delivery models, and large-scale project execution.

For Ground2Grid, ENR helps connect the dots between subsurface work and the broader construction ecosystem that funds, designs, and builds what comes next.
