COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — (Marketwire) — 03/28/12 — The 4th annual Global New Energy Summit will be held at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado on April 9-11, 2012. The Summit will bring together internationally recognized leadership across multiple energy-related disciplines — including science, industry, policy and finance — to discuss the current state of the global energy marketplace, and to identify practical, multi-disciplinary approaches to responsibly address global energy demands.
Summit panels will discuss the latest trends in innovation, policy, markets and capital across all areas of energy, including innovations in Oil, Gas and Coal, as well as Solar, Wind, Water, Biofuels, Nuclear, Transmission and Smart Grid. This year–s Summit will open with an International Expo highlighting exciting activities taking place across North America.
Committed Summit participants include Denis Hayes, Initial Organizer of Earth Day; Tom Daschle, Former Senate Majority Leader; Michael Bennet, US Senator from Colorado; Bob Bennett, Former US Senator from Utah; Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper; Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn, Executive Director of ACORE; Greg Leveille, Head of Global Unconventional Resources at ConocoPhillips; and dozens of other energy leaders from organizations representing NREL, LANL, ITC Holdings, Colorado Springs Utilities, EPRI, Patton Boggs LLP, Altira Ventures, DLA Piper, Intel, Arsenal Ventures, Wells Fargo, Encana, Gevo and numerous others.
“The Rocky Mountain Region uniquely leads innovation across the traditional energy sources, but also the emerging renewable areas. Colorado is one of the most aggressive states in setting RPS thresholds, yet is also a heavy producer of Oil and Natural Gas. Wyoming leads in Coal and Wind. New Mexico leads in Solar, Nuclear and Oil. Texas is heavy in wind, but also in Oil & Gas. Arizona, Utah and Idaho cut across Solar to Nuclear. This makes the Region a natural host to the Global New Energy Summit,” said David Blivin, Executive Producer of the GNE Summit. “Many in the industry often view markets for energy as a zero sum situation. By engaging international leadership across all disciplines and all energy industries we believe attendees leave with a unique and complete perspective on the more often complimentary and collaborative opportunities available to accomplish true advances in energy leadership.”
