November 8 & 9, 2010
New York Hilton, New York, NY, USA
In the span of just four years, Advanced Energy has evolved into the premier conference of its kind in the northeast, and outgrown its original venue. Advanced Energy 2010 moves to a larger facility in midtown Manhattan with more than twice the space available for sessions and exhibits.
Produced by the Advanced Energy Center at Stony Brook University, Advanced Energy is an industry-wide event that integrates advanced research and issues concepts across a broad range of energy disciplines. The 2009 conference was over subscribed with more than 1,000 attendees and 65 exhibitors. With its larger, New York City venue, Advanced Energy 2010 is expected to surpass its prior success by a substantial margin.
Advanced Energy 2010 is the must-attend conference for energy industry. Why wait? Register today!
