1:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Optional Pre-Conference Seminar
Introduction to Wind Energy
(additional fee required – not included
in conference registration!)
NOTE: The workshop includes a half-day pre-conference seminar which will provide an introduction to wind energy with a concentration on resource assessment—an ideal offering for those new to the wind industry or seeking a basic background in resource assessment issues. Since the topics covered during the actual workshop will be presented at a technical level, attending the pre-conference seminar is recommend for those with little or no prior knowledge of resource assessment.
