Regional Renewable Energy Conferences Returning In March

A pair of regional renewable energy conferences announced their return for 2009.

The Sustainability and Energy EXP09: Building a Better Community will be held March 6-7 at the Tucson Convention Center in Tucson, Ariz. The event is expected to attract 60 exhibitors offering solar power, solar thermal and biofuel solutions. The event is a continuation of the 2007 Alternative Energy Expo, which drew 4,000 attendees. The Pima Association of Governments, a nonprofit metropolitan planning organization, will sponsor the 2009 event. For more information, go to www.pagnet.org

The week after the Tuscon event, another renewable energy conference will be held in Boston. The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association is hosting BuildingEnergy09 at Boston’s Seaport World Trade Center. This event will focus on the construction and design aspect of renewable energy, with exhibitors coming from the solar, wind and geothermal sectors of the industry.
