The first Maryland Clean Energy Summit was held at the Hilton Baltimore-Inner Harbor on October 4th

 The first Maryland Clean Energy Summit was held at the Hilton Baltimore-Inner Harbor on October 4th. The event was created by the Maryland Clean Energy Center in partnership with The Solar and Wind Expo to give leaders in the clean energy industry a forum to discuss the current status of the industry and recommend to government officials, the public and each other the best way to make Maryland a leader in clean and renewable energy.

"From the beginning we felt that Maryland was ready for this type of event, but we weren’t sure the industry would feel the same way. In late July, we began to reach out to sponsors, and with the first call we knew we had made the right decision: Sponsors were extremely gracious and excited that we were hosting such an event. Sponsor interest was amazing, with major players such as GE, Toyota, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell and the Reznick Group in right from the beginning. We also had over 55 companies and organizations exhibit, and more than 300 enjoyed the conference exhibits and awards banquet. We ended up with a full house a week before the event; these results exceeded our expectations and left us looking eagerly towards the second annual Maryland Clean Energy Summit and Awards." said George Lopez, Executive Director, The Solar and Wind Expo.
"Our next step is to look over this year’s agenda, venue and other components so we can work on perfecting next year’s Summit. Since this event was packed with so many exciting speakers and exhibits, we may stretch the Summit over two days, and we may also change its hours." Mr. Lopez added.
