The Renewable Energy Technology Conference and Exhibition (RETECH 2009), will be held in Las Vegas, on February 25-27, 2009. RETECH 2009 is expected to be the largest all-renewables gathering in the U.S. in 2009, with an attendance of over 5,000 people, planning to increase in scale in coming years to 10,000 attendees and 500 exhibitors, which will make it the largest event of its kind worldwide.

Over 250 companies and organizations and twenty-five international governments will host booths and pavilions on the Trade Show floor. Exhibitors will include equipment manufacturers and suppliers, systems providers, finance and investment firms, research & development companies, project developers and operators, law firms, green builders, architects, construction and rigging companies, NGOs, trade associations, and government agencies.

The Business Conference will consist of six parallel tracks, held over two days, on each of the key technologies (wind, solar, hydro/ocean, geothermal, and biomass/ bio fuels/ waste energy), plus cross-cutting sessions on markets, finance and policy. Discussions on clean technologies will incorporate presentations on hydrogen, fuel cells, and batteries and other energy storage technologies, transmission, smart grid, distributed generation, energy efficiency, green buildings, and other topics related to renewable energy.
