Kennedy Jr. will deliver an inspiring keynote speech, while our CEO panelists have been carefully selected to provide a diverse range of perspectives on the key issues facing our industry.”

This year more than ever, Solar Power International provides unparalleled opportunities to hear the latest perspective directly from foremost leaders of policy and industry, reaffirming the fact that this is the essential U.S. event for the global solar energy market. Robert F. Kennedy’s tireless voice for the environment makes clear the many reasons America must transition rapidly to clean energy. “The way we deploy energy in this country is really the key to our economic and national security,” Kennedy said.

“The solar industry has navigated a year of policy milestones, including the gradual implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and the passage of the Waxman-Markey energy bill in the House of Representatives,” said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of SEIA. “Solar Power International is a unique opportunity for solar companies to learn how to navigate the ever-changing policy landscape. While the new federal renewable energy grant program will boost the solar industry and create jobs, we await the completion of additional stimulus programs that will let the solar industry become a game-changer for our economy. The conference is a critical forum for us to strengthen the industry’s position and continue to grow the U.S. solar energy market.”

In addition to the plenary sessions, the conference features 200 expert speakers, 65 break-out sessions, and dozens of training workshops. The expo floor will showcase more than 750 exhibitors from around the world. Featuring all solar technologies and all parts of the solar supply chain, the expo floor will be segmented by product type, making the show easy to navigate for businesses looking to build and expand relationships.
