The WINDPOWER 2008 Conference and Exhibition will take place from 1 to 4 June in Houston, Texas, USA. The WINDPOWER 2008 Conference programme will have over 50 education sessions, and include over 350 speakers and moderators, and 150 poster presentations on wind energy topics. The event will feature several general sessions, including the conference theme session, ‘Wind: Thriving at the Epicenter of Energy', consisting of a panel of top wind industry leaders. The focus of their discussions will include their perspectives on the wind industry's future and major opportunities and challenges while the industry continues to grow.

Each year, the WINDPOWER conference brings together the industry's wind energy professionals from around the world for 3 days of conference sessions, and a trade show where exhibitors showcase their products and services. This year around 700 exhibitors (up from 420 last year) will display their products and services. Windtech International invited the exhibiting companies to tell us what they will have on display during the show, especially their new products.
