October 23-25: CanWEA Conference and Tradeshow

July 30, 2018

More than 1,500 people are expected to attend the CanWEA Conference and Tradeshow, which will run from October 23 to 25 in Calgary, Alberta. Over the course of two and a half days, top speakers from government, industry, and utilities will share insights, unveil research, and unpack the latest trends from Canada’s fastest growing renewable-electricity sector.

CanWEA President Robert Hornung will outline a new vision for Canada’s wind industry, while others will share business-critical updates and insights on Canada’s key wind markets, including Alberta, which has committed to wind energy as the backbone of its energy transition.

Other sessions will address the evolution of Canada’s electricity grid and the opportunities to collaborate with other sectors and technologies to ensure the nation’s electricity supply remains clean, reliable, and affordable for all, far into the future.

The association will also present Dr. Francis Pelletier, vice president and co-founder of Arista Renewable Energies (now merged with Power Factors), with the 2018 R.J. Templin Award. The award commends an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to Canada’s wind industry. Dr. Pelletier will be a guest of honour at the CanWEA Awards Breakfast, where the celebrations will honour six additional industry leaders, including the Women in Renewable Energy WiRE Wind Power Woman of Distinction.

Conference organizers will also offer industry professionals a series of eight concurrent educational sessions. The sessions will provide insights on new revenue streams and markets, Indigenous engagement, environmental management, and the integration of wind and storage, among other topics.
