2010 Emerging Technologies Summit

The ET Summit-2010 provides a great opportunity to learn about cutting edge energy efficient and renewable energy products and services. Consider attending, exhibiting, and  sponsoring the 2010 Summit on Emerging Technologies for Energy Efficiency (ET Summit) as a highly effective way to build your company’s awareness of new energy efficiency, demand response, and customer-facing smart grid solutions, as well as enhancing your company’s visibility at this influential, biennial event. 

The biennial conference is organized by the California energy utilities, the California Energy Commission, and the California Public Utilities Commission.  Founded in 2004, the ET Summit is the insiders’ event on innovation in the world of DSM, customer-facing smart grid, and related programs.  Early co-sponsors and partners for 2010, in addition to the organizers, include BPA, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, EPRI, GreenTech Media, the Cleantech Open, and the Environmental Business Cluster. 

The 2010 ET Summit is expected to attract up to 1000 technologists, entrepreneurs, utilities, regulators, and investors from around North America, plus a few from overseas.  Keynote speakers (invited or confirmed) include Cathy Zoi (Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S.DOE), Ralph Cavanagh (Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council), Arthur Rosenfeld (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory; former Commissioner, California Energy Commission), Jeff Byron (Commissioner, California Energy Commission), Dian Grueneich (Commissioner, California Public Utilities Commission), several prominent California energy utility executives, plus visionary executives Paul De Martini (Cisco) and Dan Reicher (Google). 

The Summit will feature 4 tracks of technical talks by 130 energy experts. These discussions will address residential/mass market, commercial, industrial/agricultural/financial, energy policy, electric vehicles and smart grid end use technologies.

The ET Summit also includes an exhibition showcasing up to 100 energy efficiency, demand response, and customer-facing smart grid companies.  ET Summit exhibits are strategically located around the inside perimeter of the banquet hall, so conference meals, plenary talks, and special events will take place in close proximity to all displays.  There are numerous ET Summit sponsorship options and benefits, which include exhibition space and more – you can find the full details here.
