Dear Clean Energy Colleague,
Preparations for ACEF 2016 are well under way, and we are working to make this year’s Forum a cutting-edge knowledge exchange experience for all attendees. We have a few important announcements to help you get ready:
- Registration for ACEF 2016 is now open. Click here for details and the registration form.
- Deep Dive Workshops and Technical Seminars. We will feature these events at the beginning of ACEF week, on Monday 6 June and Tuesday 7 June.
ACEF Registration Announcement
Registration for participation in ACEF 2016 is now open. Participants can register for the Main Forum from 8 to 10 June or for any of the individual days of the Forum. Participants can also register free of charge for pre-forum events on 6 and 7 June, including the Energy-for-All Investor Forum; the Deep Dive Workshops; and the Technical Seminars. Details on the individual workshops and seminars are available in the Agenda section of our website here.
Please note that ACEF speakers will have their registration fees waived. If you are responding to our Call for Abstracts, and your attendance is contingent upon a speaking slot, we recommend waiting to register until after you receive notification about whether your abstract was accepted, which will happen in mid-April.
More details and the registration form can be found here.
Deep Dive Workshops and Technical Seminars
ACEF this year will once again feature Deep Dive Workshops (DDWs), and we have introduced a variation, which we call Technical Seminars on Monday and Tuesday of ACEF week. The main forum will be on Wednesday through Friday, and will be a larger discussion, including plenaries, sessions in 4 thematic tracks, and a knowledge networking session to encourage cross fertilization among ACEF participants.
The DDWs provide a chance for in-depth discussion around specific topics or challenges, over the course of a half-day or full-day workshop. The DDWs can take the form of in-depth working discussions, interactive panels, training sessions, and other exciting formats. Technical Seminars are typically shorter in duration (90 minutes or half a day) and are focused less on brainstorming and problem solving, and more on sharing information on important technical issues and developments in the clean energy and climate field.
The ACEF Steering Committee has received proposals from a number of partner organizations to host Deep Dive Workshops and Technical Seminars, and we are delighted to have finalized a line-up with a total of 18 pre-forum events. Below is the full list of DDWs and Technical Seminars:
