AIP Members invitation

Hear our diverse range of invited speakers challenge myths and misinterpretations of alternative power generation technologies. Find out which of wind, wave, solar, nuclear and fossil power are likely candidates for industrial supply. Get a heads-up on factors influencing competitiveness and adoption with potential scenarios – from the just possible to the very likely -- identified.

Researchers will gain an improved appreciation of non-technical challenges that present barriers to, or opportunities for, innovation. You can showcase your research to a targeted business audience potentially interested in your intellectual property, expertise and partnership.

Business leaders will be exposed to leading Australian R&D and come away with a better understanding of the pros and cons of different power sources. You can network with the science community, sharing ideas and commercial opportunities.

Policy-drivers will receive a balanced overview of the technical, scientific, economic and political landscapes that define Australia’s future power infrastructure. You will rub shoulders with the best minds in business and science in an informal setting.

Session program and registration information. Registration

As a special bonus, registrants will also receive an access password (via email) for reduced a reduced rate to "Music and the Cosmos" at the Sydney Conservatorium Of Music Wednesday 3 October 2007, 6:00pm.
