plug into an impactful conference!
Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer to this exciting industry, the Green Energy Conference at Green Energy Summit 2008 presents a unique opportunity to learn and assimilate technology know-how, market knowledge, policy expertise, and innovation excellence of experts from India, Europe, US, and Asia Pacific, in focused settings. All this besides being involved as a key stakeholder in spreading "green" impact in a market that is growing at a clipping 20% every year.
With a conference program put together by green energy visionaries, authorities and industry watchers from the media, Green Energy Conference runs along four tracks that will offer incisive insight through keynotes, industry round tables, policy briefings, power panels, Birds of Feather (BoF) discussions, break-out sessions, and hands-on workshops.
Tracks
Green Power
The Green Power track will focus on the actions that are required to make renewable energy a significant part of the Indian energy portfolio mix. It will identify major issues, discuss solutions, inform and share technical and scientific insights, present innovations, and offer a topical and timely conference program.
Green IT
The Green IT track will explore IT strategies and best practices for energy use, identify and examine key technologies that IT buyers must adopt to reduce their energy consumption and minimize business risks. It will present case studies of key vendors in the Green IT space and the positive impact of their strategies on customers.
Green Buildings
This track will focus on growth opportunities in all aspects of green architecture, design, engineering and maintenance, leading to high performance buildings. It will examine case studies, best practices and project delivery models resulting in more efficient methods of designing sustainability in any project.
Green Fuels & Transport
This track will examine the challenges ahead in improving the sustainability of our transport systems, while reducing our carbon footprint. It will explore and debate the practical challenges, policy decisions, opportunities, technical advancements, futuristic technologies and innovations in the area of green fuels, batteries, and transportation.

Conference Chair
The job of the conference chair is to put together a program that attracts and informs the attendees. Many submissions in a category indicates a lot of interest in presenting on a particular topic, not necessarily a lot of interest in hearing about a topic. In the end, therefore, the conference is for the attendees, not the presenters. Thus the program chair will, in an effort to create a balanced and exciting program, arrange for speakers to present on particular topics. That is their job. More details on the conference chair coming soon.

Advisory Board
This is a committee of distinguished executives, seasoned industry professionals, and academia whose expertise spans the entire green energy gamut. They will assist the program chair to ensure the quality of the content provided to attendees is high-level, relevant, and timely. Their dedication is critical to the success of the conference. The conference committee would like to thank them for their service to this conference. The extraordinary members of the advisory board are:
