The California Investor-Owned Utilities, the California Energy
Commission, and ACEEE are pleased to announce the inaugural Emerging
Technologies in Energy Efficiency Summit. The Summit will bring
together a diverse audience of policy makers, program planners and
implementers, researchers, technology developers, financiers, manufacturers
and end users to discuss the latest innovations in energy-efficient
technologies and practices.
The Summit will highlight key policy considerations at the state
and national level, explore the role of various players in advancing
markets for emerging technologies, and investigate channels for
financing technology development and commercialization. A number
of promising technologies and practices will also be introduced.
Sessions will include:
- An opening
keynote address and plenary featuring prominent figures from California
and other regions discussing the policy implications of developing
and promoting emerging technologies and practices. Speakers will
offer a high-level view of the role of emerging technologies and
practices in addressing key energy-related issues in their states
and regions, the role of private and public sector players, and
the impact of their efforts to date.
- Additional
plenary sessions attracting leading thinkers in the emerging technology
field. These sessions will showcase success stories from emerging
technology efforts, explore the important role that emerging technology
programs play in supporting vibrant and effective energy efficiency
and demand response programs, and present perspectives from other
key players including federal agencies, manufacturers, and other
trade allies.
- Smaller
working sessions allowing participants and presenters to discuss
a number of important and timely topics in greater depth. Two
program tracks will cover specific building technologies and practices
through eight individual sessions. A track on policy and process
concerns will include sessions on resource planning, public-sector
funding, and private financing of technology development. The
fourth track will address tactics and strategies for promoting
emerging technologies in the marketplace.
This is the one conference on emerging technologies
that you don't want to miss!
So mark your calendars and register now
as space is limited.
