Dear Renewable Energy Enthusiasts,
We invite you to join us in the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado, for the 2012 World Renewable Energy Forum. The conference will be held May 13-17, 2012, at the Colorado Convention Center. This will be the first time that the American Solar Energy Society annual conference and the bi-annual World Renewable Energy Congress have been combined, providing a unique opportunity for renewable energy enthusiasts from around the world to share experiences. Our downtown location is adjacent to the I.M. Pei-designed 16th Street pedestrian mall, with its many restaurants and nightspots. And, of course, you’ll want to enjoy our famous weather and spectacular mountain scenery.It’s been six years since the ASES conference was last in Denver. At that time the conference focused on how the various individual renewable technologies could combat climate change in the United States, and the results were published in the book Tackling Climate Change in the U.S. The theme of the 2012 conference is “EmPowering the World with Renewable Energy.” Our conference will not only look at how renewable energy technologies can address the environmental and energy crisis from an international perspective but also what it will take to integrate renewables into the world’s energy infrastructure on a very large scale. To accomplish this energy transition, we not only need to power our electric grids with renewable energy, but we also need to empower people to play active roles in our energy transition, especially in developing nations. Plenary speakers and special forum presentations will focus on these critical topics.
During your conference stay, we hope you will experience what Colorado has to offer. Special tours of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory main campus and the National Wind Technology Center will be arranged. We strongly recommend that you consider extending your stay to enjoy our mountains and unique recreational opportunities such as hiking, camping, fly-fishing, mountain biking and river running. We hope you will join us at the foot of the Rocky Mountains for what promises to be a groundbreaking conference for renewable energy.
