NASEO 2010 Annual Meeting

September 28 - October 1,2010
Sheraton Boston Hotel, Boston, MA

Join us in the "The Bay State" for NASEO's 2010 Annual Meeting on September 28-October 1, 2010, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts.  While the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) continues to deliver unprecedented opportunities and challenges for the State and Territory Energy Offices and their partners, what lies beyond ARRA?  Also, as the Administration evolves in Washington, D.C., keeping up with the pace of change at the U.S. Department of Energy and other agencies is critical.

To prepare and inform conference attendees, NASEO has planned a full week of informative events, with the core conference agenda being complemented by ARRA and committee sessions, as well as site tours and in-depth tracks on topical issues.  The 2010 NASEO Annual Meeting will serve as an essential opportunity for SEO directors, staff, and interested stakeholders to hear the latest on innovative financing and project implementation, clean energy technologies, and links between energy, environment, and transportation priorities.

Our networking events create a relaxed and casual atmosphere where sustainability professionals come together every other month to exchange experiences, knowledge and ideas. We generally have about two guest speakers who give the group informal presentations relative to their niche in sustainability. Presentations are followed by a few hours of open networking and cocktails with some of Boston’s most prominent figures in sustainability and green practices. We have a great speaker lined up for you: John Katovich founded the Katovich Law Group in 2002, committed to responsible business development and assisting clients in integrating sustainable, social and environmentally responsible practices into their businesses at every level, while pursuing efforts to bring sustainable concepts into the capital markets. And our usual mix of a great venue and great networking!
