SDForum's Third Annual State of Clean Energy Conference January 12, 2010

The third annual SDForum conference on clean energy will take a critical look at the country-level adoption gap and what the leaders are really doing. Where are the leaders? How has public policy accelerated development and what needs to be done? In Silicon Valley, what are corporations, start ups, investors, universities and governments doing? Where are we ahead, where are we behind and what's next? This conference brings together global leaders to share best practices and connect with industry movers and shakers. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn and collaborate on how to move the industry forward.
