We're one week closer to the World Renewable Energy Forum--WREF2012, and excitement is building for what this year's conference will hold for all of us. As Chuck Kutscher pointed out last week, there have been an unprecedented number of papers submitted, and we have planned over 200 sessions. Wow!
For example, take a look at some of the people joining us as Plenary Speakers. I must say that I'm really impressed with the line-up this year. The talent pool will include the likes of Mike Eckhart, Dr. El-Ashry, Santiago Seage, Dorothy Robyn, and many more. Don't forget to share the details with your colleagues and friends. Early bird registration is happening, and members save an additional $100 off of a full conference registration. I look forward to meeting you in Denver, CO during the week of May 13 - 17 for The Renewable Energy Event of this spring--WREF2012.
Sincerely,
Chris Maher
President, InREA, Indiana's American Solar Energy Society
