Both countries offer a very different set of opportunities in leading the way into the future of the PV industry. The U.S. has huge\, yet relatively untapped market potential\; a wealth of companies developing promising new technologies and proximity to grid-parity in an ever growing number of regions. Germany is home to some of the largest and most sophisticated global PV companies and offers a large\, growing and stable market with a reliable support system. Bringing those two together strategically has provided\, and will continue to provide\, an outstanding recipe for success. Moderator: Brian Fan\, Senior Director of Research\, Cleantech Group Panelists: * Lars Podlowski\, CTO\, Solon AG * Mike Gering\, CEO\, Global Solar Energy * Bernd Kohlstruck\, Managing Director\, Xantrex Technology GmbH * Nolan Browne\, Managing Director\, Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems at MIT Goal: The goal of the event is to foster a fruitful discussion about the benefits of partnering among leaders of the PV industries in the U.S. and in Germany. Specific topics to be discussed will include: * Unique advantages the different geographies offer * Asymmetric needs of different partners * Drivers and barriers for successful partnerships * Real world case studies for managing transatlantic business relationships Target audience: * Key decision makers and multipliers from the U.S. and European PV industries * Companies or investors with an interest in entering a transatlantic PV partnership * Analysts\, consultants and other service providers to the growing solar industry with an interest in learning about transatlantic partnerships A full lunch and drinks will be served. $20 Members\, $30 Non-Members\, $40 at the door.

Bioneers was conceived to conduct programs in the conservation of biological and cultural diversity\, traditional farming practices\, and environmental restoration. Our vision of environment encompasses the natural landscape\, cultivated landscape\, biodiversity\, cultural diversity\, watersheds\, community economics\, and spirituality. Bioneers seeks to unite nature\, culture and spirit in an Earth-honoring vision\, and create economic models founded in social justice. Restoration addresses the premise that "sustainability" is problematic in the context of an environment that is already depleted. As Paul Hawken has noted\, sustainability is simply the midpoint between destruction and restoration. The goal of Bioneers is restoration\, addressing the interdependent array of economics\, jobs\, ecologies\, cultures\, and communities. Bioneers are biological pioneers who are working with nature to heal nature and ourselves. They have peered deep into the heart of living systems to devise strategies for restoration based on nature's own operating instructions. They come from many cultures and perspectives\, and all walks of life. Bioneers are scientists and artists\, gardeners and economists\, activists and public servants\, architects and ecologists\, farmers and journalists\, priests and shamans\, policymakers and citizens. They are everyday people committed to preserving and supporting the future of life on Earth. They herald a dawning Age of Restoration founded in natural principles of kinship\, interdependence\, cooperation\, reciprocity\, and community. Uniting nature\, culture\, and spirit\, Bioneers embody a change of heart - a spiritual connection with the living world that is grounded in social justice. Their pragmatic strategies effectively address many of our most pressing ecological and societal challenges. Above all\, Bioneers represent a culture of solutions. Their stories demonstrate that just as people have created the environmental and social problem we face\, people can solve them - through a reciprocal partnership with nature. Over and over\, they show how great a difference the actions of one individual can make.

We are pleased to announce that The Clean Tech Breakfast Series is being sponsored by Nixon Peabody and Moss Adams. Topic Description: Algae is regarded as ideal for large scale energy production such as ethanol and bio diesel. It has the potential to grow 10-100 times more energy per acre than land crops and does not adversely impact food production. To date it has attracted about 20+ companies into different areas of opportunity. However many challenges to commercialization including production rates\, yield\, processing and scaling. There are several different approaches being pursued to address these issues\, such as genetic engineering\; closed system bioreactors and different algae species. The panelists will cover the state of technology and commercialization as well as their recommended solutions to these issues as well as alternatives to algae in the biofuels sector.

A joint project of two national nonprofit organizations\, Global Exchange and Co-op America\, Green Festivals bring together local and national socially responsible businesses\, and environmental\, social justice and community organizations. Hundreds of thousands of concerned individuals over the years have attended these “parties with a purpose” aimed at forging a just\, sustainable\, inclusive economy – a green economy. Green Festivals are a walk through a sustainable community. It starts with the personal: how people can make their lives work better. Individuals and business and community leaders also come together to discuss social and environmental issues of personal\, local\, national and global concern. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that serve the community. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed\, and skills are shared to empower people to create a livable community. Of course\, it wouldn’t be a festival without music\, art\, culture and delicious food – all from local-based organizations and businesses.

The Green Enterprise Unconference is intended for those in their organizations responsible for green strategy and leading sustainability initiatives. We also expect related professionals\, including other corporate representatives (such as from manufacturing\, facilities\, marketing\, or IT)\; service-related companies relevant to this topic\, VCs\, the Press\, and interested individuals from academia or the public. We expect several dozen sessions covering a broad range of topics relevant to enterprise green strategy\, implementation\, measurement\, education\, and practical experience regarding best practices.

As a result future renters are more likely to seek out properties that are environmentally friendly. In addition to energy cost savings and the profits to be made by capturing green conscience renters\, multitudes of governments at the local\, state and federal levels have promulgated green regulations that affect the multifamily housing industry. Jurisdictions have enacted new green building codes\, incentives\, and regulations for the efficient use of energy in the operation of real estate. Therefore\, in light of the fact that the green movement has many divergent and potentially confusing aspects NAA will host a conference that assembles experts from all sections of the green building/management movement (green development (general green\, mixed use\, transit oriented\, etc)\, green building criteria\, green marketing\, green property management\, etc) under one roof so that attendees will come away with a complete understanding of how green will affect and potentially benefit their multifamily property. Educational topics offered at the conference will include: 1. The National Green Building Standard and LEED- What They Mean to the Multifamily Housing Industry 2. Greening Multifamily Properties and Enhancing Your Net Operating Income 3. Green Regulations\, Incentives and Mandates 4. The Costs and Benefits of Sustainable Design 5. The Multifamily Investor and Apartment Resident - Will They Care 6. Supplying Green Builders\, Developers and Managers In addition to the education sessions\, the conference will feature a state of the art trade show for apartment industry suppliers to showcase their valuable green products and services.
