Attendees come from New York as well as many other Northeastern states. The gathering is in an informal atmosphere that creates a particularly dynamic and rich environment for all traditional partners and the public at large explore critical energy issues with experts. There are no breakout sessions and no tabling, just interesting cutting edge presentations and discussions. The Symposium is a division of  Synapse Sustainability Trust.

This event should not be missed by anyone interested in, teaching or working in the field of renewable energy or is interested in job training for the energy sector. You can still take advantage of the early registration fee.         If you have attended in the past, you will understand why this Symposium has gained the reputation  for being the most important energy policy conference in the North East. Cutting edge policy and updates on renewable energy sources are presented and discussed by top experts. With up to 400 attendees, networking is astounding.            Check out the program. This year three experts from Washington D.C. are joining us as well as the leaders from NYS. To have these experts on the same podium is exciting and should not be missed. Each of the speakers will present for 15 minutes, explain what they are working on, and then all speakers will join a panel discussion. Questions by YOU will be the basis of the questions, and you will be provided with cards to be filled out and collected.          All this, plus breakfast, hot lunch, easy free parking, for a LOW early registration fee. The registration fee goes up March 31st so REGISTER NOW. If you are planning on coming the night before to be ontime for the Symposium, we have reserved a block of rooms at the nearby Craftsman Inn for a special rate (specify you are with the Symposium on Energy.)
