This posting remined me of a mailing I recently received for a major annual conference held for the electric power utility industry POWER-GEN. I have not attended this conference before, but this one looks interesting as it is sub-titled "Renewable Energy - Moving into the MAINSTREAM".
The conference is to be held March 1-3, 2005 in Las Vegas Nevada. http://www.power-gengreen.com The call for papers abstract deadline is Aug 2, 2004. http://pgre05.events.pennnet.com/content.cfm?Navid=1641&Language= The suggested topics list is: wind, solar, biomass/biofuel, hydro, geothermal, ocean/tidal, waste to energy, energy storage, hydrogen and fuel cells. They are asking for both the usually type of presentation (oral with powerpoint slides etc) and panel discussions. Presenters are given complimentary conference registration. Is there any interst in putting together a panel discussion (up to 5 panelists) on micro-hydro? > Panel submissions must contain content for a complete 90 minute panel discussion, including confirmed panelists. > Panel sessions are a less structured environment and allow conference attendees to interact with the panelists. > Panelists are encouraged but not required, to submit written documentation of their participation. I'm open to suggestions, but was thinking of something along the lines of "Full Utilization of Micro-Hydro Potential: Obstacles and Opportunities". Enviromental & Recreational activism Regulatory (Government & Industry) Economics (Dispersed Resources - Unique Sites/Custom Designs) Education Technical (control, storage, & maintenance ) Integration w/ Wind, PV, tidal, hydrogen I'm just throwing this idea out to see what the group can do with it.
