Aspen Environment Forum March 25 - 28

In association with National Geographic, the Aspen Institute in Colorado is putting on an Environmental Forum from March 25 through the 28th. The event has been added to our CleanTech Events Calendar (which you can subscribe or add events to through Google Calendar).

According to their website here the event theme this year is "Powering the Planet: Energy for the Long Run," and will present topics including climate change, energy extraction and use, innovation and technology, efficiency, conservation, plus many more. All sessions will be led by energy experts, government and business leaders, writers and photographers, and other knowledgeable and committed voices in the field of environmental sustainability and clean tech.

Representatives from the University of Colorado in Boulder and NOAA will certainly be attending and if you want to join in on the action a general forum pass is $1,800 with day passes at $500. The Aspen Institute has been around for over 60 years and describes itself as a combination of experts, insiders, and the public, meeting in a manner seen nowhere else with relaxed dinners and breakfast meetings as well as walks around the beautiful Aspen landscape. Considering the cleantech innovators that live within the state of Colorado, including Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute and Pete Hansen of Salida Conversions, this event is sure to be a moving experience for business people, students, and the general public alike.
