The Washington International Renewable Energy Conference (WIREC 2008) will bring together government, civil society and private business leaders to address the benefits and costs of a major and rapid scale-up in the global deployment of renewable energy technology.

WIREC Participants can expect to:

• Acquire a better understanding of the benefits of large-scale renewable energy deployment on energy security, climate change, air quality and economic growth.
• Gain an appreciation of the multiple policy options and best practices that encourage and enable accelerated renewable energy up-take.
• Develop networks and find partners to explore and initiate renewable energy projects.

These three objectives will be woven into WIREC's four cross-cutting and policy driven themes:  Agricultural and Rural Development; Technology/Research Development, and Market Adoption and Finance.

Van Ness Feldman's Curt Moffat, David Yaffe, Kyle Danish, Ben McMakin, Curt Rich, and Shelley Fidler will attend this event.
