Eighth Annual SYMPOSIUM ON ENERGY
in the 21st CENTURY

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Welcome to The Annual Symposium on Energy in the 21st Century. Our goal is to present the most up to date policy on energy issues and this year will be one of our most exciting events. Our country is at a crossroad in energy sustainability and the goal of the Symposium is to look at successful models both from other countries, U.S. and locally to learn what can be done for more sustainability nationally and locally. We are including speakers from Germany and Denmark and those who make decisions in the U.S.

The Symposium has been noted as one of the most important energy conferences in the North East and draws more than 350 attendees each year. The Symposium provides a venue for diverse groups to join together in a bi-partisan multi-disciplinary conversation and learning experience. The attendees include congressmen, mayors, town supervisors, presidents and deans of colleges, CEO's, professors, students, engineers, architects, city planners, representatives from the offices of elected official both on the federal, state and local levels, farmers, as well as interested citizens. Diverse groups of people, all who work in or have interest in energy, from the largest to the smallest of municipalities, come to share and learn from each other and from an outstanding group of speakers.

This is the eighth year I will be chairing The Symposium and I am extremely excited about this program. Check out the PROGRAM and SPEAKERS' BIOS. In order to keep the registration fee so low, we welcome sponsors for the Symposium. You can see the list of sponsors on this page. We cannot produce this Symposium without our dedicated sponsors, who are listed in the program and also included on our website.

As usual, it is always a pleasure hearing from all of you and we
looking forward to seeing you on April 27th.
