What They Say
"This has been one of the most powerful, informative symposiums I have ever been to...”

"My business partners and I attended and exhibited at the WGES both days, and found the event to be informative, energetic, well-planned and well-attended….”

"We met many people in the renewable energy industry with who we will be in contact to discuss opportunities to work together on sustainable development projects…."

"We very much enjoyed the enthusiastic reception that we found the Symposium received, who seemed eager to learn about the different exhibitors, businesses, and the overall message of the Symposium. We are already looking forward to the next WGES!..."

"The World Green Energy Symposium was a great platform… Not many forums have an all-inclusive of stakeholders from policy makers to the individuals and entities that must spend the financial resources to meet such initiatives."

Lecturer Mr. Kevin Kampschroer: New Barriers that Face Building Energy Conservation and Consumption

To invest in energy efficiency is often described as being a “win-win”: by reducing the amount of energy used, efficiency measures can reduce energy consumption (and, consequently, impacts of energy use) and save customers money. Examine renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies used in building applications and assessing their emissions reduction potential.

· Identify advanced materials and devices that are used in renewable energy systems

· Analyze and predict trends in the most likely applications

· Pinpoint new materials and devices that are likely to be introduced into renewable energy systems in the next five years and their expected market impacts

9:50 AM

Lecturer Mr. Andrew Knox, 24/7 Carbon-Free Electricity -  

Learn from The Pentagon's Office of the U.S. Secretary of Defense, as its Special Assistant Chief Sustainability Officer details U.S. Department of Defense efforts to go to market with procurement action for 24/7 Carbon Free Electricity.
