Small Wind Conference
A Gathering of Installers, Manufacturers, Dealers and Distributors
The 7th annual Small Wind Conference on June 14 - 15, 2011 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin is the premier event for small wind-electric system installers, designers, manufacturers, educators and advocates, and for those involved in sales, specification, management, funding, and permitting of small wind systems.
This is a key opportunity for open and honest dialogue, networking, and education within the industry. Nearly 400 small wind professionals and industry representatives from across the United States and nine countries attended the 2010 conference.
This year's keynote speaker is energy activist and analyst Randy Udall. Udall is an engaging and frank speaker about peak oil, the changing world we face with regard to energy use, and why "energy is an IQ test Americans tend to fail."
The two-day conference will run from 8:00 am Tuesday, June 14 through 6:00 pm Wednesday, June 15. Conference fee includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks, along with complimentary evening social events.
