Bringing together Boston's CleanTech news and events

The Summer Doldrums of networking and conferences are here - While not many events have been scheduled during July and August, there are a few upcoming events of note:

• EBC has been busy all summer, with Waste to Energy and Ocean Powered conferences.  Upcoming, there is the NH Summer Party, as well as a cruise co-sponsored by the Young Professionals in Energy
• Clean Economy Network will be hosting a Summer happy Hour networking event at the Bell in Hand Tavern on Wednesday, Aug. 4th
• Further out, EnerNOC is hosting an "EnergySMART Conference" in September, and in November, the "Conference on Clean Energy" returns to Boston.

While there isn't much activity on this front, many Boston entrepreneurs are involved with two big Business competitions - Ignite Clean Energy / Clean Tech Open, and the MassChallenge.  Both are offering substantial prizes in both cash and services, and there are many local and regional cleantech companies participating.
