ACEEE | 2010 ACEEE Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Informal Sessions

Only on-site informal sessions are now available. If interested in hosting, please sign up at the ACEEE office in Surf and Sand during Summer Study.

Afternoons at the Summer Study are set aside for Informal Sessions. The purpose of these sessions is to allow further discussion of the morning presentations and other topics of importance to participants. Any registered Summer Study participant who wants to hold an Informal Session can, subject to available space. Informal Sessions are for informal presentations ONLY and audio/visual equipment may not be available. This time is not allowed for private/invite-only meetings. Presentations should be conducted in the form of open discussions and not as forums to advertise a particular product or company. By posting a meeting here, you agree to conduct an Informal Session, open to all attendees.

Informal Sessions will be posted daily in the Summer Study's onsite newsletter The Grapevine and room assignments will be given onsite.
