Community Wind Web Conference May 26-27 Enables Investors, Entrepreneurs, Activists and Engineers to Learn Trends, Hear Practical How-to’s, and Exchange Experiences About Wind Power Projects – All in an Earth-Friendly Format

April 9, 2009 – More than 25 North American experts will discuss opportunities, trends and challenges related to community wind energy projects at a two-day web conference about community wind energy sponsored by Green Energy Web Conferences on May 26 and 27, 2009 (http://www.greenenergyconferences.com/ ).

The web conference is for people who are interested in learning more about community wind projects as well as for professionals already in the business wanting to keep up with this fast-changing alternative energy technology.  “Community wind” denotes mid-scale, locally owned wind power projects designed to maximize the energy benefit to the community.
Presenters at the web conference include experts from organizations ranging from the American Wind Energy Association, Windustry and the World Wind Energy Association to the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy to Atlantic County Utilities Authority and Citibank   Case-studies by Spirit Lake Community School. Jiminy Ski resort, Hyannis Country Garden and many more.
Issues to be discussed include:
•    What does it cost to set up a wind project?
•    Where can I find funding, government support, grants or other financing?
•    How do Green Energy Credits and CO2 Emission rights work?
•    What is the return on investment?
•    How does the approval process – zoning, permits, etc. – typically work?
•    How can I predict the amount of power that will be generated?
•    How can I sell my project and energy to utilities?
•    What have pioneering entrepreneurs in the field already achieved and learned?

“When you include the savings from travel, hotel, and restaurant costs, a web conference costs only 10 percent of attendance at a traditional conference,” says Mathijs Gajentaan, CEO of Green Energy Web Conferences.  “We’ve set it up interactively, so you can ask the speaker questions, browse the attendees’ profiles to see what they are doing and looking for, and connect with them.   And if you can’t attend any of the live sessions, you can review the presentations at your convenience.”

The complete list of speakers can be found at http://www.greenenergyconferences.com/conference/wind/featured

Through May 1, the cost of a conference pass ranges from $149 to $199, with 50% discount codes available upon request for professional associations, non-profit organizations and academic institutions to extend to their members.

Sites / Blogs can also sign up for an affiliate program. Affiliates receive a commission for every sale that goes through them.

FITC wants to see more females at FITC Toronto

FITC recognizes that females in our industry are underrepresented. We feel there are some amazing women working in this industry, and want to see them at FITC Toronto 2009. As such, FITC is stepping up and offering 100 festival tickets to any women who would like to attend.

FITC Toronto 2009 (website) The Design & Technology Festival April 25-28, 2009 // Hilton Toronto. Canada

So, how do you get your ticket?

Simple. Tell us in a video post WHY you want to come to FITC Toronto. We thought about different ways of giving away tickets, and felt this was a fair way to help ensure that the tickets go to those who really want them. We may use the videos to help market the event, so make them good! Please make sure that you tag your video as PUBLIC so we can view it, as well as share it on this site for others to see.
