Young Professionals International Forum - Green Technology: Global Opportunities and Challenges
Thursday, July 17 at 6:30 PM at World Affairs Council (312 Sutter Street, San Francisco)
With energy prices soaring worldwide and global climate change accelerating, the importance of green technologies like solar and wind energy has never been greater. However, at this early stage, there are more questions than answers in green tech. This panel discussion will bring together four leading experts from the venture capital, scientific, and business communities to offer their perspectives on the outlook for green tech, and the political and economic impact for countries that become green tech leaders versus those that fall behind. Advanced registration is recommended for guaranteed seating. However, pre-registration is not required and walk-ins on the day of this program are welcome: Free members, $15 non-members
