The MIT Energy Conference is an annual student-run conference that brings together leaders in the fields of technology, policy, industry, and finance to develop solutions for the the world’s most pressing energy challenges.  Environmental and security concerns have created an opportunity for fundamental change in the way the world produces and consumes energy.  The MIT Energy Conference will explore these opportunities and showcase promising technology and policy pathways that have the potential to make a significant impact on energy solutions across the global energy landscape.

The Conference will be held on the 5th and 6th of March, 2010: Friday, March 5th will feature several Workshops and the annual Conference Showcase, and Conference panels will be held on Saturday, March 6. This represents the fifth annual MIT Energy Conference, to be enjoyed in a larger venue that will enable considerable flexibility in the way that attendees can interact with the interdisciplinary body of experts that will be in attendance. The desired outcome is to build a joint vision of the future that will help remove roadblocks to implementation, develop collaborative solutions, and bring the energy community closer together.

We look forward to hosting you on campus for this exciting event.  Participants interested in energy issues may also choose to attend the networking reception at the annual MIT/New England Energy Showcase in Boston at 5:00pm, making this an efficient day of connecting to top talent and new ideas in New England.

The Energy Showcase is a free event open to the community at large and is designed to bring together cutting-edge energy research and inventive businesses that are contributing critical knowledge, products and services toward actionable and scalable energy solutions. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for people interested in energy to inform themselves about the state of the art and the directions that the industry will follow in the future.

This year the Showcase will feature not only research posters from academic institutions and energy companies but also numerous interactive energy-related exhibits and hardware, giving attendees a unique opportunity to mingle with prominent energy researchers within a hands-on atmosphere. The casual setting, accentuated by live music, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres, will foster dialogue amongst energy-conscious community members and cutting-edge professionals.
