Reed Exhibitions and Elsevier to Launch Renewable Energy Focus Conference in New York

12/13/2007 - Reed Exhibitions and its sister publishing division, Elsevier, have joined to launch Renewable Energy Focus Conference & Expo November 5-6, 2008 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York. With increasing national and international pressure to decrease dependence on fossil fuels, Renewable Energy Focus Expo will focus on three progressive areas of the market: Wind; Solar (PV, Solar Thermal and CSP) and Biofuels.

Companies that manufacture products and provide related services for the Renewable Energy sector will be exhibiting such as:
*Solar Power Products and Services such as cell and module manufacturers, inverter and other component manufacturers, integrators, dealers and installers;
*Wind Power Products and Services such as wind turbines and related components;
*Biofuels including first and second generation biofuels.

Industry professionals who will be in attendance include renewable energy consultants, public and private utility professionals such as engineering management, design and systems, operations, chief executives and owners, investments and finance, policy makers and regulators at the local, state and federal levels, legal professionals, dealers and installers and large-scale green building contractors.

According to Elsevier publisher Laurence Zipson, ‘The industry is truly coming of age,’ Zipson said. ‘As we have seen many times, keeping informed and on top of developments is essential, and we intend to use the magazine's huge global reach and reputation to reach those people that matter in the industry - we want to get them together in New York, and make this a formidable event that will complement the other top events in the calendar.’

‘The response from manufacturers and the industry has been incredible since we decided to present this international event in New York. It is truly time for the U.S. – with or without federal incentives - to drive our energy consumption from fossil fuels to more sustainable options, said John McGeary, vice president, Reed Exhibitions.

’We are creating a worldwide forum for renewable energy companies to share and educate corporations, governments and utilities about the new options that clearly set the stage for responsible energy usage now and in the future. As the event is in the financial hub of the world – New York -- the event will be a forum for the investment community, as well.’

Renewable Energy Focus Expo will offer a comprehensive education program designed to explore trends and opportunities in alternative fuels and renewable energy sources. Taught by today’s leading experts, the program will advance acceptance, understanding and implementation of alternative energy sources.
