Energy-filled days - MIT News Office

Energy-filled days - MIT News Office


MIT's annual student-run Energy Conference, now in its fourth year, continues to grow and has added some new features this year. The conference itself, being held this Saturday, is already sold out, but two topical workshops on Friday afternoon, and a showcase exhibit Friday evening, are free and still open to the public.

The theme of this year's conference is "Accelerating Change in Global Energy." The daylong event begins with a talk by MIT President Susan Hockfield, followed by a keynote talk by Lars Josefsson, the president and CEO of Sweden-based energy group Vattenfall. U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), who chairs the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition in the House of Representatives, will deliver a keynote address.
