SOLAR TODAY - April 2010

national coordinator of the first Earth Day, and Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute’s chairman and chief scientist. Participants will then have hundreds of sessions to choose from, on topics ranging from green workforce development to passive solar design to smart-grid solutions. Follow session tracks built around subjects like policy, training and finance, or go à la carte and pick and choose among the sessions that interest you most!

If you’re a solar professional, dealer or startup, you won’t want to miss Conergy’s Solar Success! training event. The program includes technical, sales and marketing, and business and project financing training for solar business owners, whether you’re just starting out or consider yourself an old pro.

Finally, be sure to pack a lot of
business cards for SOLAR 2010’s
many networking events. At spe-
cial events and receptions through-
out the conference, you’ll have
plenty of opportunities to trade
notes with your peers and make
important connections. SOLAR
2010’s social event, on May 21, will
take place at the beautiful Taliesin
West, the national headquarters of
the Frank Lloyd Wright Founda-
tion, and will include an exclusive
tour of the facility.
